>Definitely Don't Drink The Water<
While those of us living in the District of Columbia were worried about lead in our drinking water last year, there's now cause for concern about the safety of drinking water on a much larger scale. Probably this week, the House will vote on a new "Clean Water Act" which would relax the strict standards that keep sewage out of our drinking water. That's right. Let it sink in for a minute.
Still thirsty?
By Laura Donnelly
I don't see what the big deal is. In countries like Brazil this has always been the case. People just grow some sort of immunity to it and who says cholera is that bad? Granted, typhoid fever can be a biggie, but just think of all the money the government will save! With the war, the tax cuts and indispensable expenditures like the Star Wars Project* it totally makes sense! If you want clean water - buy Evian!
*How can you not revive Star Wars?! I mean George Lucas finally made it okay to like Star Wars again! So what if that would mean the USA has the power to basically attack any country from space? Isn't that also very Star Wars? Like Vader, minus the twins. Oh, wait.

I leave you with the quotes from Pushing the Limits of Decency from those wonderful people we've learned to stop laughing at because no, average Americans don't find the things they say so absurd it's funny - they actually agree with these people.
"Because the whole system [is] like going to a concentration camp and picking out which people go to the death chamber."
Bob Novak on "Capital Gang" May 14, 2005, on why Republicans might not accept a filibuster compromise.
--I was going to comment how Mr. Novak should be made to visit the Holocaust Museum, but why bother? Yes, sure... it's exactly like being taken to the gas chamber.--
People who support giving detainees lawyers will "never get it until they grab Michael Kinsley out of his little house and they cut his head off - And maybe when the blade sinks in, he'll go, "Perhaps O’Reilly was right."
Bill O'Reilly on a May 17, 2005, radio show, about LA Times editorialist Michael Kinsley's suggestion that Guantanamo Bay detainees should have legal counsel.
--Land of the free, home of the brave. Innocent until proven guilty. I could go on, but it's really too sad.--
