Sofie and I went gallery hopping in Chelsea on Saturday. This was probably the best thing we saw all afternoon, the view from the tenth floor of 210 Eleventh Avenue.

No, not BHO. Tom Junod takes an insightful look at Governor Schwarzenegger in this month’s Esquire magazine:

He’s been governor of California for four years. That’s sort of amazing in itself, considering that there was a time, recently, when the prospect of him running the most populous state in the union seemed a kind of comment on the absurdity and frivolity of American politics. And yet, even as most of us are still absorbing the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the governor of California, Arnold has had this whole career as governor of California, complete with a big early run of legislative victories, a huge and consummate defeat, a bottoming out in the polls, then a comeback and a reelection and a record of accomplishment that’s embarrassing — and that’s to a degree meant to be embarrassing — to his equivalent in Washington, D.C. And the way that he’s been able to do these things has been by developing a style of politics that may prove to be his lasting legacy, beyond the bills he’s been able to push through the California legislature. We’ve been so desperate for a new politics — who would have ever thought that one of its sources would be the governor’s office in California? Who would have ever thought it would be him?
