what california needs is someone sane to take a hatchet to the horrible web of things caused by prop 13 and its ilk, and basically write a new state consitution that will allow the state to operate normally again.

HST's Nixon eulogy should be chiseled into the front steps of the White House as a warning to the others, but Reagan was pretty close to the Devil in a suit

If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

These are harsh words for a man only recently canonized by President Clinton and my old friend George McGovern -- but I have written worse things about Nixon, many times, and the record will show that I kicked him repeatedly long before he went down. I beat him like a mad dog with mange every time I got a chance, and I am proud of it. He was scum.

Let there be no mistake in the history books about that. Richard Nixon was an evil man -- evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency. Nobody trusted him -- except maybe the Stalinist Chinese, and honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship.

It is fitting that Richard Nixon's final gesture to the American people was a clearly illegal series of 21 105-mm howitzer blasts that shattered the peace of a residential neighborhood and permanently disturbed many children. Neighbors also complained about another unsanctioned burial in the yard at the old Nixon place, which was brazenly illegal. "It makes the whole neighborhood like a graveyard," said one. "And it fucks up my children's sense of values."

Many were incensed about the howitzers -- but they knew there was nothing they could do about it -- not with the current president sitting about 50 yards away and laughing at the roar of the cannons. It was Nixon's last war, and he won.

1.1 gallon of water to grow a single almond

1 cup of almonds is approx 80-100 almonds

1 gallon of almond milk takes approx 8 cups of whole almonds

Thus, 1 gallon of almond milk takes 640-800 almonds

Therefore, 1 gallon of almond milk takes about 700-880 gallons of water.

holy poo poo

milk is only 122 g/lb according to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/food-water-footprint_n_5952862.html

also eggs: 395 (and chicken: 528) so you could drink eggnog and it'd waste less water than fuckin almond milk
