Nudist colony almost out of water for skinny dipping

By havoc, President Clinton means no skinny dipping at nudist colonies:

http://twitter.com/#!/PaulRogersSJMN/status/508477583638294529

These conditions do sound horrible:

http://twitter.com/#!/MarqTruscott/status/509032044177788928

Yes, when will Congress act to save California’s nudists?

http://twitter.com/#!/MavensNotebook/status/509046238638243840

Why don’t the nudists just ask their neighbor, Oprah Winfrey, to help with their water woes? She can spare a few tanker trucks of water, no?

http://twitter.com/#!/EcoWiseman/status/506174516402192384

And if you can’t afford a tanker truck of water, there’s now a shower head that will send an SMS to your phone to let you know if you’re using too much water:

http://twitter.com/#!/sheiladunning/status/508966332943970306

Maybe they can create an app for the nudists next?
