Hetch Hetchy and San Fran and Nancy Pelosi
« on: August 05, 2012, 11:14:49 AM »
This story is tragically ironic to me. I never knew the whole story behind Hetch Hetchy. Interesting that this is one that has Republicans backing the "environmental" side.

The tragically ironic part is that Pelosi was the driving force in cutting off water to half the farmers in the central valley. Water for me but not for thee. I can't believe this isn't getting more news time. The environmentally active San Francisco crowd is rather quiet as well.

On the other are Democratic San Franciscans, led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, fighting to hold onto the city's famously pure drinking water in a drought-prone state.


Aargh!!!!!!!!

Cut off their water....  I believe the term is "Hoist on their own petard."

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

"Overweight" or "Obese" men are labelled as "chubs". The border line between Bears and Chubs is very thin and fluctuating.

I found this funny.....I don't know why.....

It might be the thought of real bears in leather vests and caps...  :)   Among other things.
