Water shortage in the Southwest - worst quote ever!
So, I'm a dork and I watch the Weather Channel (not just for weather, but for the little news clips in between). They were just talking about how there is a new 5,000 home community being built near Las Vegas and how that town wants to take water from Arizona, since there isn't enough near this town.
