News Oodles and oodles of scrumptious knowledge bits! Now smug-free!
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Oct 19, 2007 at 9:43 PM
Because Delta Tango Commentmeister wants his facts -- I won't fault you for that, sir or madam -- and it seems like he or she doesn't want to hear them from me, I give you two dollops of opinion sandwiched between two slices of reality from various other news sources.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is saying the "81-days-till-we-literally-fall-dead-in-our-tracks" water supply estimate for Lake Lanier is inaccurate. Mussels and sturgeons are canaries in the coal mine and don't deserve the blame they are a-shoulderin'. And you better get a handle on that development, Georgia, and make this drought a learning experience rather than just another catastrophe. Why? Because our neighbors think we're water hogs and they shouldn't have to support our growth.
Late this afternoon the state filed a lawsuit against the Corps in the Middle District of Florida Federal Court requesting that the agency immediately stop releasing water from Lake Lanier and the state's federal reservoirs. Gov. Sonny Perdue will address the press tomorrow at Lake Lanier, fresh off the plane from his jaunt to Japan to hash up some more biz-nass for Georgia.
You guys have any questions we should ask the governor tomorrow at the press conference?

Thanks for the interrogation op Thomas! Please tell Cousin Sonny, these are from cousin vic in Macon. 1) Macon, Georgia currently has 6.5 Billion gallons and a 500 day supply of water, Atlanta doesn't. Cousin Sonny, why don't you move some government offices to Macon, it will help our ATL water & traffic problem? 2) How is the $23 million "Go Fish" program going? 3) What was the best Sushi that you ate in Japan?
