...Roofs is now a museum hung with photographs feting Brunei's "special relationship" with Britain. It helps to explain all the lingering British traces today: Queen Elizabeth II Street; a bright blue St. Andrew's Anglican Church; and red water taxis doubling as Manchester United hoardings, plying their choppy trade in the Brunei River in the shadow of the grand Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque...
...caps and other regulatory action, it is hard to believe that all industries would take the initiative to reduce emissions - especially as the world staggers out of a recession.

But Crist ads will question that assertion - as well as Rubio's record on matters like immigration reform and cap-and-trade policies to limit companies' greenhouse-gas emissions, issues where Rubio, while Florida's House Speaker, didn't exactly follow the Rush Limbaugh path. (He has blasted Crist for supporting cap-and-trade, for example, but voted for it himself last year, and both he and Crist have generally ignored conservative...
