All the Californicators have to do is pray for rain.

Should make it easier to find all those weapons lost in boating accidents.

Now, go to the above link and see how the other half (or should I say, the 1%’ers) are coping with this.

Babs, Lopez, the Kard’s, et al could care less about showing the hypocrites they are.

Idiot reporter, as usual.

Experts say it's the worst the state has seen in 1,200 years.

The experts he's referring to are probably cited here.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/science/californias-history-of-drought-repeats.html

The actual data shows two periods of megadrought in the last 1200 years, one lasting 150 years, the other 2000 years. This one is four years old.

“The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron. The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed” - Deuteronomy 28:23-24 - the curses of disobedience.

‘If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will also break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze. ‘Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.’ - Leviticus 26:18-20

It’s not just the drought. It’s the fact that we haven’t built any new dams in over 40 years and we’ve been letting water flow into the ocean to protect some damn little minnow. And by “we” I mean the idiot politicians the idiot voters put into office.

They had an article yesterday, all the Hollywood liberals like Babs Streisand with lush green lawns and shrubbery because they constantly water them. What water shortage? That’s only for the little people.

If California was even remotely serious about addressing the drought they would start first by reducing demand. Kick out all illegal aliens. That would save them likely half the water demand.

Protecting minnows over millions of acres of agriculture and people....only a moronic, brain-dead liberal could fathom such a thing. They have no business in government. California or anywhere. Instead, they all belong in an insane asylum.

Well, It isn’t a pretty picture, but it’s no nearly so problematic as this article suggests. Here is and interactive data map of all of the major reservoirs in the state. You can call up any year you want. If you look at the current graph it shows today’s level superimposed on the average level and lines showing the worst and best years on record. This draught isn’t anywhere near the one in 1977 ( which was followed by the wettest year in history in 1978). This draught should be called the Jerry Brown Draught because he’s steadfastly refused to add reservoir capacity, preferring to kiss the a$$es of the so-called “environmentalists.” This turd has single-handedly caused this problem. He’s turned out to be a much bigger POS than his father, who broke the POS meter when he was governor.

I just watched Chinatown on Netflix about the California water wars during the 1930s. Interesting.

Desalination plants instead of that stupid fast rail line to where? More dams! Kill that damn fish! It may be too late. Liberal communists Democrats, exile them. King Obama established relationship with Cuba. That is where we should send these ars hat Democrats.

There is a problem no doubt, but a good number of these phots and their captions are just plain bolshevik.
