Not stirring the puddn' with this, just baffled as to how a statement like this makes it out:

"Today we are handing the Army Corps of Engineers a solution to an ongoing problem that has contributed to the most severe drought in Georgia history, said Governor Sonny Perdue."

It has NOT contributed to the 'drought', as drought refers to rainfall. It is a severe water 'crisis' due to drought true enough. And the proposal is a partial solution to the crisis and management of available resources, but not the drought. The only solution to the drought is rainfall.

Words have meanings!!

Am I the only one that sees this? In the grand scheme of things it really means nothing and does not affect the meaning of the statement, but if a dumb, fat, redneck who likes to sleep under boats can catch it, shouldn't someone on the Gov's staff?
