Eleven flushes later
Oh happy day...Charles Stough (see below) has his own weblog: Newsgorilla.
Here, in one recent entry, a unnamed Texas man finds out that the laxative industry is doing its best to frustrate local efforts to save water, in this letter to the editor.
One hopes that Mr. Stough isn't pulling our leg, but he does work as an editor at the paper that got the letter so I would say it's genuine.
