Procopius, you and Lileks had the same idea. Great minds, same channels, you know.

#8 While we're at it, what say we cut the water to the over 100 golf courses in Palm Springs?

#10 That's right P2K. If we want the little shit's dick in the ringer, all the other 49 states should DEMAND that Vegas gets shutdown until new power supplies come online, as it's extraneous to our welfare. The little chirper would start spinning another tune real quick.

#11 High fuel prices make me sick. And the democrats who work to keep them high make me sick too..

This November, let's tattoo "oil make us sick, and Harry's high prices are the cure" on Harry's backside. I know it's long, but let's face it: Harry's a pretty big A$$.

#12 But approval ratings don't?

Better figure out who you work for mister. Fast. In the long run, odds favor the house, right Vegas?

Why Palm Springs? It's not in Nevada.

#14 Palm Springs gets most of its drinking water from aquifer sources. A lot of those sources are recharged by the Colorado Aqueduct, IIRC.

Shutting down Vegas would free generated power to communities that rely on coal fired power plants. Anyway, the threat of that should shut down Reid's piehole, if he could see cause and effect.

#15 Why Palm Springs? It's not in Nevada.

Why not? It would certainly put a knot in Nancy Peeloosely's ugly tail, along with Babs Boxer and that supposed-to-be-singer that lives somewhere in California. Besides, all that water COULD be used to separate oil from oil shale in Colorado, where it originates.

#16 Actually, more of it is used to grow alfalfa and hay in the Coachella Valley than water golf courses.

Second, those water rights were locked up early last century. If'n you wanna negotiate for 'em, fine. Otherwise it's no better than Kelo.
