Schwarzenegger’s secret message to the state Assembly: ‘Fuck you.’ (https://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/28/schwarzeneggers-assembly-secret/)
The California Assembly and Senate recently unanimously approved Assembly Bill 1176 (https://www.aroundthecapitol.com/Bills/AB_1176/) to help the port of San Francisco with financing issues. But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has decided to veto the legislation, sending a letter (https://gov.ca.gov/pdf/press/2009bills/AB1176_Ammiano_Veto_Message.pdf) to the state Assembly chastising them for focusing on “unnecessary bills.” The San Francisco Bay Guardian also notes a second, more direct, message hidden in Schwarzenegger’s missive (https://www.sfbg.com/blogs/politics/2009/10/arnold_to_sf_fuck_you.html) — contained in the first letter of each line:

(https://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?entry_id=49163)” to Schwarzenegger at a public event. Schwarzenegger’s office, however, is insisting that the letter’s coded message was just “a strange coincidence (https://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/10/27/schwarzeneggers-veto-message-delivers-another-message/).” “When you do so many vetoes, that’s bound to happen,” said the governor’s spokesman.
