Yep. Northern California is rationing water so Southern California doesn't have to.

This one says it all.

What?! You mean rich people live by different rules and standards than the rest of us plebes? Say it ain't so.

Yeah. Celebrities are merely a more open and obvious example of how extreme narcissism and sociopathic-level of obnoxiousness and large amounts of money typically walk hand-in-hand. Overall though something like this is merely the wealthy being their usual selves again.

Isn't the real story the drought? Climate change?

You're still allowed to water your lawn. Even if you're just a 'normal' person in California.

True enough, but it's also a lot about how the Democrats and environmentalists deliberately sabotaged most efforts over the last 20 years for California to build more reservoirs and dams that could have conceivably given them enough storage capacity to make droughts like the current one considerably less bad. A low snow-pack every odd year or so is no big deal. It happens to all high-desert places every once in a while. Letting all that run-off be completely wasted and not recover any of it is spectacularly stupid though.

California politics, baby! Like Archie Bunker once said, it's the land of fruits and nuts, where the fruits are awful nutty and the nuts are really fruity.

California had a more serious drought in the 1970's when global cooling was considered the big threat. Droughts are normal here and that's why a more sensible generation built reservoirs and aqueducts.

California is popular for the precise reason that we DON'T get a lot of rain.

This is not an unusual event.

No, if I don't know hear about the Kardashians at least once a week I wonder how they are. And I lose sleep at night wondering what their lawn looks like.

Shhhhh!

Ethos (Starbucks) has stopped bottling water in California, due to the drought. They should move to BC. Apparently we're giving it away up here.

Many of the climate changer nutters are completely ignoring the fact that this has happened before.

1950`s, 60`s, 70`s, 80`s.....this time though, it's all because of climate change.
