EU says water is not healthy
Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express UK News :: EU says water is not healthy
In a scarcely believable ruling, a panel of experts threw out a claim that regular water consumption is the best way to rehydrate the body.
The bizarre diktat from Brussels has far-reaching implications for member states, including Britain, as no water sold in the EU can now claim to protect against dehydration.

Ever since I moved to the inner city one thing has puzzled me more than any other, and that is how my low-income neighbors get by.
Assuming they aren't doing anything illegal, how do they afford their homes, their meals, their gadgets, their cars?

Controversy
Comments on U.S.In 2003, Depp's comments about the United States appeared in Germany's Stern magazine: "America is dumb, is something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth — that can bite and hurt you, aggressive."[65]
Although he later asserted that the magazine misquoted him and the quotation was taken out of context, Stern stood by its story, as did CNN.com in its coverage of the interview.
CNN added his remark that he would like his children "to see America as a toy, a broken toy.
Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out."[66]
The July 17, 2006 edition of Newsweek reprinted the "dumb puppy" quotation, verbatim, in the context of a Letter to the Magazine.
Depp has also disagreed with subsequent media reports that he says paint him as a "European wannabe", saying that he likes the anonymity of living in France and his simpler life there.[65]
In 2011, Depp moved back to the U.S., because he said the taxes in France were too high.[67]

Counterforce and Countermeasure: Preparing the Election Battlespace
Counterforce and Countermeasure: Preparing the Election Battlespace Daily Pundit
There are two Occupy movements.
The one that matters is the Marxist hard core that is astroturfing the movement as part of the battlespace preparation for Obama’s reelection campaign.
The second is the much larger outer ring of dupes and useful tools who are genuinely upset over economic issues, but because they view themselves as liberals, they automatically eschew participation in the Tea Parties.
The Marxist organizers are less concerned with what happens to the encampments over the next few weeks than they are with establishing the ability to roll out sizeable numbers of useful tools into the streets as a strategic countermeasure to the much larger Tea Parties, which will begin to make their presence public again as the election draws closer.
They foresee bands of black-masked Occupiers attacking and scattering any legally organized demonstrations the Tea Party may arrange for.
The cops can’t do it, but these new Obama Brown Shirts can, while the cops look the other way.
Heck, it worked perfectly in Madison......cops...."we saw nothink, nothink"....
