Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie

Gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "I'm a uniter, not a divider." Well, I'm not Californian so my opinion matters not in the slightest, but I can't help but recall the last prominent Republican to make that claim whilst seeking higher office....

Also, Atrios makes a funny point about something else Schwarzenegger said. (BTW, I for one am really glad Atrios has apparently re-taken the reins over at Eschaton. His collaborators were game, but they just didn't have his style.) (Oh, Atrios's permalinks are as buggered as mine. Scroll down to the post entitled "Arnold on Gray Davis".)

Finally, here is Jim Rome's take on the whole California business, which is quite similar to what he actually said on the show. (The audio version was funnier, really, but apparently to listen to the Rome Show online you have to be a paid subscriber.)

(UPDATE: The Jim Rome article is here, actually -- apparently the previous link is to his current column, with each column being moved to an archived location after a new one is posted. Thanks to Sean for the update.)
