    SCOTUS released their January arguments calendar on Friday, and the first argument day of the new year (January 8) will include not one but TWO “water wars” cases:

    Florida v Georgia (Issue: Whether Florida is entitled to equitable apportionment of the waters of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin and appropriate injunctive relief against Georgia to sustain an adequate flow of fresh water into the Apalachicola Region.)

    Texas v New Mexico (Issue: Whether New Mexico is in violation of the Rio Grande Compact and the Rio Grande Project Act, which apportion water to Rio Grande Project beneficiaries.)

    Since you have soooooo much time on your hands, go over to Charlie’s post from Saturday, and figure out how to make the dream all legal like.

      I won’t worry too much. Plenty of The Hag’s Pay for Play bribe money to pay off the four women.

    You know, as long names are being changed for no rational reason whatsoever, the film industry looks to be an especially ripe target. A new name could be “Two Mules and Forty Acres for Sister Sara”!!!’ C’mon…Any others come to mind??

      Technically Andrew it would be Добрый день, товарищ
      Not Добрый вечер, товарищ. Evening does not start till after 6:00 in Мать России.

      The former talking heads at Fox won’t be lonely any more. Don’t worry, there will be more from all major industries, political parties, and the military.

      I stated last week; more are coming and it will get worse.
