Schwarzenegger's Big Balls

As California faces a $24 billion deficit and teeters on the edge of insolvency, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg are exchanging gag gifts full of budget symbolism.Last week, after Schwarzenegger called the Senate budget plans "hallucinatory," Steinberg sent the guv a basket of garden-variety mushrooms and a note about the fungus' magical effects. Schwarzenegger returned the favor, giving Steinberg a metal sculpture of bull testicles with a note suggesting the Sacramento Democrat would have to grow a pair to make tough budget decisions, according to sources. There are conflicting reports on the size of the gift. Comparisons range from football (AP) to melon (LA Times).
What kind of melon, the Times did not specify, but it's safe to say the sculpture was large enough.
