Congratulations to Gov. Schwarzenegger for signing a bill today banning the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System from investing in companies that do business in Iran. Hopefully Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's performance at Columbia University would have shown everyone how mad the regime in the Islamic Republic is, but the pension funds still opposed the bill. Too bad, because somewhere you've got to draw a line in the sand and take a stand for what's humane and right. And Arnold did that. Yay to Arnold!
