South Carolina's Water Bill Needs a Nudge : Can Tony Help?

Last fall, I admit it. I bought a series of DVDs that are advertised heavily on late night infomercials. Ok. I am sure I am not the first person to do this. A friend of mine swore to me that they were good. 

You may have seen them. P90X consists of 12 gruelling workouts hosted by Tony Horton, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. Now I am too old to be worried about getting ripped, however, I was interested in adding variety to my normal workout training for my triathlons. 

Here is Tony talking about Ab Ripper X. Tony is good, but all cheese.

Now I have learned a few motivational quotes from Tony that may help South Carolina's water bill stalled in the statehouse. As I have mentioned over the years, South Carolina has no authority in permitting water. For several years now we have tried to get a bill passed. Last year the bill died under the weight of disagreements about downstream minimum flow and water use restrictions. 

It has a small window of passing this year, but that window is closing. A Senate Agriculture subcommittee postponed a decision on the bill today with the hope of taking a vote on it next week. Although it may not be the best bill, I believe this bill is better than no bill. 

Now watching these videos over and over, I have memorized some of Tony's cheesy quotes. Here are some of my favorites from these videos that could be piped into the State House: 

• are you ready?....'cause its coming 

• just keep coming back everyday and pushing play. 

• Do your best and... Forget the rest 

• yeah get the fire in there your gonna need it, oh the burn is here when the burn comes breathe breathe more. 

• You got to bring it 

• Hamburger bad, fries bad, coca-cola bad. There you go, I said it, drink your water people!
