    I called somewhat-bullsh*t on this story on the other thread...I share the outrage at this guy's water use, but like the video report said (conveniently late in the piece), there's no proof he is doing anything wrong. That's cute that the local tv affiliate burned some fuel in the chopper to get overhead shots of his green lawn and pool, but I bet if they went to Buckhead or any number of other nice suburbs around town they'd find some other lawns that still look pretty good too.

    One question I have about the story...they made no mention of trying to speak to the man in question. What gives?

    It's obviously a front for a waterboarding training facility.

    So far 10 reporters have drowned trying to speak with the guy.

    They tried in the video. Some woman answered the door and said the guy was busy and wouldn't talk.

    Maybe the guy and the woman enjoy water sports.

    The article says he is using 60x the water compared to the average home but how about a comparison with the rest of the neighborhood?
