Would You Pee in the Shower to Save the Planet? — 1 Comment

  1. In October 1998, I was riding in then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's Suburban to a campaign event in Camden, Arkansas. The RevGov was in the front seat and seated with me in the back was Academy Award-winning actor and then-NRA President Charlton Heston. Armed with a list of questions for Heston, he beat me to the punch. "I want to talk to you about something important," he said, "I have a measure in front of the Los Angeles City Council which would allow people to pee on their lawn once a day to save water." I was stunned. Huckabee was trying to hold in a hearty laugh. And Heston was as serious as a heart attack. When I got back to my office, I told my editor that I had a hot, breaking story for the next day's edition and the AP wire. You cannot imagine the stunned silence of the editor when he opened my story on Heston's water conservation efforts.
