He said: "What would you rather have? A politician taking the stuff and not saying, but making the best decisions and improving things? Or a politician who names the drugs he or she has taken but makes lousy decisions for the country?"
The Republican governor, renowned for his green policies, said Washington had not done enough on the environment. "So we pick up the slack and show the rest of the world America is not just Washington. There are 600 mayors in America who have joined the Kyoto treaty. For us, it is very important that America gets back the great reputation it once had."
He said: "I think we have to do everything we can as a country to get out of the Iraq war, and to take a lead on the environment."
hey, he sounds alright - i sort of assumed arnie would be this unilateralist warmongering machinegun toting humvee driving cowboy governator. (although, how do you reconcile the kyoto protocol with driving a humvee?)

Perhaps not surprisingly, Brian Ashton says __"you cannot plan for a World Cup"__
"Look at the last soccer World Cup – if I remember rightly Italy struggled in every group game yet went on to win the final. We lost a group game and went very close to winning the final on Saturday. France, who had a coach in place for eight years, got knocked out in the semis. New Zealand spent I don't know how much money yet were knocked out in the quarters. There's no blueprint at all.
"I think at this moment in time, and I may change my mind on this, it's about what happens when you get to the tournament that counts. It's the group of players that you've got with you. It's not about what you've done during the previous two or three years, it's what you do for the seven weeks that you're there.
i think he might be right to a certain extent. who would've said before the world cup that england would be in the final?
