Monday News Mixer

Good Morning..as we Wake up to a Monday---trying to get ourselves into gear for a new week. Here is the news from the headlines of ripped out reality, and pieced together by our man on the streets of Unemployment, Brian Williams

The big news right now is that California is undergoing severe drought and they are putting together a water conservation program calling for a 36% decrease in the usage of outside water to water their lawns. Talk about lush green lawns and bank accounts..the rich and famous like Streisand, Kim Kardashian and JLo continue to water their lawns even though there is a water crisis. Checking conservation concerns one lady interviewed gave this statement concerning celebrity lawn care

And the California Transportation Department was caught on Cellphone video watering the hillsides of Highway 101 with sprinklers also blowing water on the freeway during a light rain. So who is in charge of conserving this water and enforcement?  Remember the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge? A prominent line was "Water Water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." Pretty much sums up the conservation attempt for now..there is water, but in the near future, areas will be affected by a drought, places like or how about water fountains? Will they be on the conservation list?

and how does Marco Rubio handle the situation of water conservation?

They Take a Final Naked Exam at UC of San Diego don't they?  There is a Visual Arts class that has a requirement that students take their final exam, in the nude, as part of the requirement of passing the class. The Naked Final Exam is outraging a lot of parents and causing a stir. But even the Instructor Professor Roberto Dominguez has been teaching the class for 11 years and he will be in the nude as well. “It’s the standard canvas for performance art and body art,” Dominguez told local ABC News affiliate KGTV. “It is all very controlled…If they are uncomfortable with this gesture, they should not take the class.” He was defending the class after one mother spoke out, claiming the requirement was not clear and was a “perversion.” Remember...the Naked Lunch written by William S Burroughs of the beat generation back in the 50's? It had nothing to do with eating food in the raw.
