She gets a pass. It was either her or the giraffe.

I laughed. But I bet a giraffe COULD kick your ass.

As California is in the midst of their worst drought in years...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ ... story.html

Drought or no drought, Steve Yuhas resents the idea that it is somehow shameful to be a water hog. If you can pay for it, he argues, you should get your water.

People “should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful,” Yuhas fumed recently on social media. “We pay significant property taxes based on where we live,” he added in an interview. “And, no, we’re not all equal when it comes to water.”

Yuhas lives in the ultra-wealthy enclave of Rancho Santa Fe, a bucolic Southern California hamlet of ranches, gated communities and country clubs that guzzles five times more water per capita than the statewide average. In April, after Gov. Jerry Brown (D) called for a 25 percent reduction in water use, consumption in Rancho Santa Fe went up by 9 percent.

I hesitated to put this here because of the topic but I was too weak. Jeff Roorda has a "book" coming out called "Ferghanistan: The War On Police". Whatever side of the thing you are on...I don't want to turn this into a debate on that. My point here is that using this topic for self-promotion and profit just seems wrong. It's kind of like how CNN and the other 24 hour news networks maybe seemed a little too enthusiastic about their coverage of it when it was going on.

The cop who was fired from the police force because he was dirty [lying in police reports, etc] and then became the head of the police union and made a bigger name for himself by being an even bigger [fill in your own expletive]? Doesn't surprise me one bit. No matter what I say, I don't really hate many people deep down but I loathe that guy.

How can an officer who was FIRED for LYING be taken seriously by anybody (talking about the media here in light of his media tour) who isn't trying to further their agenda regardless of facts?
