In the letter, Schwarzenegger also said he would no longer permit the use of his name "to advertise or promote the city of Graz in any way" and would return the city's "ring of honor."

The ring was given to him in a ceremony in Graz in 1999. At the time, Schwarzenegger said he considered it "a token of sincere friendship between my hometown and me."

"Since, however, the official Graz appears to no longer accept me as one of their own, this ring has lost its meaning and value to me. It is already in the mail," the governor wrote.

Kick ass.

This is the response from Graz's mayor.

I will summarize:
Schwarzenegger: "Suck it!"
Mayor of Graz: "Okay."

Wow, it takes until the third-to-last paragraph to find out that the deputy mayor was one of the people calling for his name to be removed, not merely the presumably out-of-power Social Democrats and Greens.
