A very dry sense of humor. As southern California goes up in flames (with Atlanta not far behind), we pause for a minute of silence to reflect on the importance of golf:

...when water is used for golf courses it can become the greatest water usage in a region. It has been estimated that a single average mid-western US golf course is equivalent to a population of 50,000 residents in water usage. (Thus, in areas where there are 20 golf courses the load is that of one million residents, as found in tourist areas such as Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, and the famed 100 courses of Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs, California use the equivalent of 5,000,000 resident consumers' water.) Some governments have labelled golf course usage as agricultural in order to deflect environmentalists' charges of water waste.

Earlier this year, a certain father of the president collapsed in Palm Springs on the golf course. Leave it to a soft and coddled anti-environmentalist to have a fainting spell in the midst of his flagrant display of waste, i.e., desert golf.

How much farther from Palm Springs can you get? Try Kennebunkport!
