After a new U.K. study voted him the best hope to take on a alien invasion , Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's "ready to serve". The action star and former politician was voted number one by 2,000 British adults, though Will Smith was apparently a close second choice, thanks to his work in Independence Day . As for Schwarzenegger, he was chosen because of his Hollywood roles and his stint as Governor of California. A spokesperson for Blaze TV, who commissioned the study, says, " Arnold Schwarzenegger is a strong choice for dealing with an alien invasion, bearing in mind he's not only a screen action hero but was also Governor of California." The spokesperson went on to say that it was a bit worrisome to see celebrities like Schwarzenegger, Will Smith, Sigourney Weaver, and Tom Cruise dominate over real-life public leader like Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.

Those sectors of the culture certainly went through periods of renaissance before and since then, but this was a year when all was happening at once. New York, by contrast, was in a state of crisis, not that there was much of an inferiority complex in L.A. anyway, as Brownstein writes. Related Story A White House Adviser For The Arts?
