Clueless Red/Blue-fixated posting will win you few friends on here. Not many here carry water for the Rs. Most carry water for conservatism and Constitutional principles, however. If that happens to overlap with the modern Republican party it's purely by accident, I assure you.
"If that happens to overlap with the modern Republican party it's purely by accident, I assure you."
It only overlaps during the campaign period when they are running for office. After that they turn purple just like the D's that get elected and they only care about lobbiests, bribes they call campaign contributions, and their job security......voters?...fuck the voters!!!
The "they" to which NoDebt was referring are ZH posters of a Constitutional Constructionist bent, NOT the Republicans "they" sometimes feel it necessary to vote for.
Well, at the very least we know that any overlap is not because the Republicans give a damn about the constitution anymore, except their most favorite parts that they can use to keep their masses distracted with rage.

That's captain blue butthurt taking time away from his gop talking points to tell me I'm fixated on blue v red. I think he meant red-fixated posts will win few friends as it is overwhelmingly clear that anyone who criticises demos or obama are showered with lolz and agreement from every which way here (I will prove this for nodick by writing inaccurate, cliche and in some cases overtly racist criticism of obama and demos for the next week, and we'll see if I don't win a few hearts and minds here 'ey nodick?). For this I call nodick's objectivity, as well as his intellect, into question.
That he spends 90% of his posts decrying democunts and muslimsocialistkenyanobama regarding partisan wedge issues (those damn immigrants!!) should not take away from the fact he is right, even if he does not actually believe in the futility/inanity of the red&blue false dichotomy we are peddled and in fact is one of the red side's most staunchest idiots, do as he says and not as he does.

"The negative PDO is a trend that usually lasts for 25 to 30 years. Even when the drought ends, the state will be drier than it used to be. Californians are going to have to conserve their water. There is some good news. Pacific experts are warning that there is a good chance this year will see the arrival of an El Niño by autumn. El Niños usually bring glorious rain and snow to the West. Hang in there, California!"
That's like saying the NAO explains 100% of variance in Europe's climate. The NAO, and I assure you the PDO too, are affected by other/larger system such as thermohaline circulation, volcanism, and solar weather.
"Even when the drought ends, the state will be drier than it used to be", though an understatement, is all anyone should count on. Of course the day the first major rain hits, everyone will immediately label drought-forecasters "doomers" then promptly forget the entire thing ever happened.
Green-shirts are desperate to suppress the fact that CURRENT EVENTS ARE NOT UNIQUE! "Global Warming," or the more strategically ambiguous "Climate Change," is the environmental equivalent of Al Qaeda, another swindle.

The absurdity o f the bankers ever actually repaying us is like wishing this drought will just go away, while I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, I'd say there is more to this drought than people are letting on to, and the real question is... "In who's best interest would it be for there to be a drought to begin with?" If you want a hot tip, remember that the banks are buying up all of the real assets (Read Water & Light, and Gas Companies) with this free money on their books, hell it's beyond free, they are getting paid to loan money to themselves, and if you can imagine that, then you can see the truth!!
NIRP for the Derps and Herp Investors Money for the Bankers!
(That's where the bankers begin raping stocks like mad...)
"The absurdity o f the bankers ever actually repaying us is like wishing this drought will just go away,"
The point is to get people thinking about and realizing that in, under, a fraudulent-reserve banking system, the wealth they are loaned, fiat-debt, was actually stolen from them, twice. That is, they are borrowing their own wealth. The banksters stole the people's wealth once when they pilfer their deposits. They plunder the people a second time via the counterfeiting that eventually shows up as price-inflation at the grocery store.
So it is they that owe us, the people, and not we that owes them.
As for "payment," gold, silver, and/or heads will gladly be accepted.
We just got our water bill today, living in a small city about half way between San Fran and Sacra.
I really expected it to have a big insert talking about the drought, what they are doing, what the plans are, how it will affect supply and prices.
But...nothing! Same old bill as always.
The inertia and inefficiency in governmental agencies is mind-blowing. Nobody has anything to gain by anticipating problems. And nobody has anything to lose by sitting on their ass and just slowly doing the bare minimum.
That means no meaningful change until the problem is completely overwhelming.
Slightly south of you and same thing with my water bill and the website of our water supplier - no mention of anything except a small blurb on the site about conserving where possible.
"The inertia and inefficiency in governmental agencies is mind-blowing."
You should always keep Tyranny's Paradox in mind: Tyranny must both control and oppress their victims while simultaneously sustaining themselves off of those same victim's backs and production.
What that may mean in your locale is that the local water people find themselves very dependent on the lucre forwarded to them from you, and the rest of their subjects, and so don't want any cut backs in usage. How indebted to the banksters is your town?
If they come under pressure form the big biz and agri. controlled pols and crats higher up, they will then institute surcharges, fees, and fines on usage so that their lucre-flow continues unabated while pleasing the powers above them.
Reparations now ! The bansters need to repay us ! Hands up don't shoot ! No justice no peace ! My mother in law makes $7,000 a month working a few hours a day on her computer !
I live east of LA, and get my water from a publicly owned water company, Golden State Water, no gov't connection whatsoever. They have done nothing, mentioned nothing about the "drought" either. Putting this on government is stupid.
Looks like there will some pain in a few other areas, too...

A little nationalism wouldn't be so bad if it actually unified us to a real threat, made us focus and resolve issues that would preserve our nation....but, like everything else that once meant something good, it is now just another noose about our necks, another means of corralling us into collective actions to empower tyranny through democracy.
There is no action that has not been anticipated, calculated to provide benefit to our oppressors.

Ah yes once again thanks must go to veteran receiver of the butthurt oldwood for reminding us yet again about the good old days of nationalism. This was a grand nationalism, a nationalism that frequently drove us to 'preserve our nation' like when we- the goodguys - murdered over 3 million 'real threatening' peasant rice farmers in Vietnam, fighting that Ho Chi Minh guy, a nationalist (but the bad kind!!).

Trockenbeerenauslese is the highest in sugar content in the Prädikatswein category of the Austrian and German wine classifications.[1]Trockenbeerenauslesewines, often called "TBA" for short, are made from individually selected grapes affected by noble rot, i.e. "botrytized" grapes.
This means that the grapes have been individually picked and are shrivelled with noble rot, often to the point of appearing like a raisin. They are therefore very sweet and have an intensely rich flavor, frequently with a lot of caramel and honey bouquet, stone fruit notes such as apricot, and distinctive aroma of the noble rot. The finest examples are made from the Riesling grape, as this retains plenty of acidity even at the extreme ripeness.[2][3] Other grape varieties are also used, such as Scheurebe, Ortega, Welschriesling, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer and many are more prone to noble rot than Riesling since they ripen earlier.
These wines are rare and expensive due to the labor-intensive method of production, and the fact that very specific climatic conditions (which do not necessarily occur every year) are required to create botrytized grapes. Some of the best wines of this type are sold almost exclusively at the various German wine auctions. They are usually golden to deep golden in colour, sometimes even dark caramel. The body is viscous, very thick and concentrated, and arguably can be aged almost indefinitely due to the preservative powers of its high sugar content. Although TBA has very high residual sugar level, the finest specimens are far from being cloying due to high level of acidity.
Trockenbeerenauslesen have also been in common production since the 1960s in Austria. Most TBA wines from Austria come from Neusiedlersee, Burgenland. On both sides of lake Neusiedl those wines are produced. East of the lake, the village of Illmitz is known for the production of "liquid gold". At the western side of the lake in Rust and St. Margarethen, wine of exceptionally good quality can be found. This region is known for its wide and shallow lakes which can lose more than half their volume due to evaporation. The mists created by these lakes provide a very conducive climate for Noble Rot to shrivel grapes.
Clearly not a habitué of Napa - they don't water the mature grapes there. If you look at Cabernet grapes on the vine, they're really not much bigger than raisins.
3 million illegals in California using approx 50 gallons/person per day equals 150,000,000 gallons of water consumed by illegals every day. Yeah, Jerry, just turn everyone's attention toward climate change. That will fix it.

Trockenbeerenauslese (literal meaning: "dried berries selection") is a German language wine term for a medium to full body dessert wine.
Trockenbeerenauslese is the highest in sugar content in the Prädikatswein category of the Austrian and German wine classifications.[1] Trockenbeerenauslesewines, often called "TBA" for short, are made from individually selected grapes affected by noble rot, i.e. "botrytized" grapes.

This region is known for its wide and shallow lakes which can lose more than half their volume due to evaporation. The mists created by these lakes provide a very conducive climate for Noble Rot to shrivel grapes.
The style is similar to, but much more concentrated than, Sélection de Grains Nobles from Alsace.
In comparison to Sauternes, the wines are considerably sweeter, have a lower alcoholic strength and are usually not oaked.
As with most other premium grade dessert wines, Trockenbeerenauslese is to a large extent sold in half bottles of 375 ml.
