Bill Richardson suggested that watery states like Michigan and Wisconsin share their water with the lizard people of the Southwest.
Naturally, internet capable residents of those states have responded with such remarks as “perhaps a national water policy should maybe start with not building cities in the middle of the desert” and “don’t live in the desert” and, my personal favorite, “I just peed in a cup and sent it to Richardson. Thats all you get desert rats.”
We have stopped building cities. People keep moving here – often from places like Michigan – and expanding cities that have been in existence since 1775 (Tucson), 1706 (Albuquerque), and 1881 (Phoenix).
As for pee in a cup, thanks, but we already use a lot of reclaimed water out here.
Which is pretty gross, when you think about it.
Bill, while you’re recovering from your (forward thinking, if far fetched) idea of a national water policy, consider responding to the Geek Survey. Geeks know all about moisture farming.
Score

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 
Richardson should just take over, declare himself “The Merciless,” and start rationing out fruited source waters to all the lizard peoples. If he gets himself an aide who wears a metal yarmulke while cruising around on a Segway, then I think we’ll have something that the SciFi Channel will put into immediate development.
I’m just saying.
Of course, Bill will have to wear a band uniform and play the piccolo.
