SmartWater, Fiji Water, Aquafina, Dasani...
Have you heard about some of the larger cities banning bottled water? They're trying to do it in L.A., where bottled water became a status symbol lord knows how many years ago? I want to see them prying bottles of SmartWater out of Jennifer Aniston's hands! Now, they are doing it for a good reason. You see...people aren't recycling the plastic bottles like they should be, so they're all ending up in landfills. Bad! Some places are trying to push their tap water. And I'm going to say right now that if Dayton and/or Cincinnati ever do this, their mayors will get stuff thrown at them...the tap water tastes like freakin' pool water! So what's an environmentally conscious person who hates their tap water supposed to do? I have seen a reuseable water bottle filter, but I don't remember where...online, of course. Guess I could always do another search, but I'll also need to search for a reusable water bottle, one that can be used with this filter. Of course, I have filtered water at work...and at home...but, it might be nice to take with me on bike rides and the like, you know? Then I'll be one less person pitching their plastic bottles. That'd be nice. :)

The "No, Really???" News for Today
U.S. may have botched training of Iraqis:
Do you think? I mean, really now. I thought they were doing so well over there, with our soldiers still doing the majority of the combat after how many years now? Seriously. This is not news to anyone.
"'The fact is that income inequality is real. It has been rising for more than 25 years.'"
-- George W. Bush, January 31, 2007
Another gem from the article: "He said some workers are being left behind in the booming economy and the disparity between the rich and the poor is growing."
Who are you, and what have you done with our president? Not that government can do anything about the insane amount of money CEOs make for, oh, I don't know...getting fired? But still, to hear this come from his mouth made me do a read-over, twice. This is all a political stunt, since the economy is in the toilet...but still, it's just about the last thing I'd expect him to say. Next thing you know, he'll say that global warming is for certain, and that we should do everything in our power to stop it. Or, better yet...that he was wrong, wrong, wrong about Iraq, and that the troops need to start a phased withdrawal. Then I'll KNOW someone is impersonating him...
