With all the nastiness, plot twists and power struggles of the 2002 California gubernatorial race between Gray Davis and Bill Simon, it's starting to look like a grudge match between two movie villains -- say, Dr. Evil and Mini-Me.

And California voters are increasingly turned off, complaining that a political choice between a megalomaniac and his evil clone is no choice at all.

If my choice is a Democrat sleaze or a Republican sleaze I'll take the Republican every time. However, in this case I think the California media is leading the charge to make Simon out to be something he isn't.

Simon has nothing to lose right now. He should pull out all the stops and start kicking some ass out there. No more passive campaign, time to put the offense on the field.

Dr. Evil This is a very sensitive subject...

Just the 2 of us
Just the 2 of us

From the moment I heard Frau
Say I had a clone
I knew that I'd be safe
Cuz I'd never be alone
An evil dr. shoudlnt speak alot about his feelings
My hurt and my pain don't make me too appealing
I'd hope Scott
Would look up to me,
Run the buisness of the family
Head an evil empire,
Just like his dear old dad
Give him my love and the things I never had
Scott would think
I was a cool guy
returned the love I have
make me wanna cry
Be evil, but had my feelings too
Changed my life with Opra and Maya Angelou
But Scott rejected me
Say La vea
life is cruel,treats you unfairly
Even so, a God there must be
Miny Me, you complete me.

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try
just the two of us
just the two of us
Just the two of us building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Uh huh, yeah,

Yeah, Just me and you, getting jiggy with it

Yeah, ooh, quite pleasant really
