Virtually everywhere in the world, people still wake up and want their country to be more like the United States than any other nation.

You can't exactly bake a man to your specifications. Most of all, one shouldn't alienate a candidate. A hybrid of Einstein, Tarzan and Inge Meysel doesn't exist. Besides, the images of politicians in the media aren't always accurate. I've had my share of experiences in that regard. ↗

We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits, and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous. ↗

I'm too short to host a late-night talk show. It's like the bar at an amusement-park ride. You have to be six foot two or over. ↗
