I’m bring back the Polizeros Politics of Water blog, water being one of the most contentious political issues in the Southwest. This sub-blog was on hiatus for a while but there seems to be continuing interest in it (I’ve gotten 70 hits today from a bcwaternews mention) so I’m reviving it.
You can also check out our water links.

The never-ending treadmill of the capitalist Greed-is-Good ethos.
A survey this year by PNC Advisors found that 33 percent of wealthy Americans worry constantly about money, including an astounding 19 percent of those with $10 million or more. Regardless of how much money the people surveyed had, they consistently said they needed double that amount to feel secure.
But when you’re always scared and greedy, it’s never enough, is it?
“Why does someone with 500 million feel the need to steal 5 million from someone else? I don’t know either, but it happens all the time.” - Sue (who is a forensic accountant.)

“Five months after President Bush was sworn in for another four years, his political authority appears to be ebbing, both within his own party, where members of Congress are increasingly if sporadically going their own way, and among Democrats, who have discovered that they pay little or no price for defying him,” the New York Times reports.
This is very different than just a few months ago. Recent polls have Bush at his lowest ebb ever, with the majority of the populace now opposing the war and his extremist agenda.

“Things aren’t getting better; they’re getting worse. The White House is completely disconnected from reality. It’s like they’re just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we’re losing in Iraq.”
– Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), quoted in U.S. News and World Report.
