Red Alert: Someone Dropped a Tylenol in the Water Supply
With the global warming swindle starting to stagger under the weight of its own absurdity, the authorities are searching feverishly for the next major hoax, from which they can rescue us with still more excessive taxes and regulations. The latest candidate: trace elements of pharmaceuticals including acetaminophen and ibuprofen have been found in drinking water.
To get enough acetaminophen to make your headache better you'd have to drink the equivalent of Lake Mead, but never mind that, there's a crisis taking place! Look for Al Gore & Co. to start up a venture capital firm that invests in companies manufacturing soon-to-be-mandated microfiltration devices.
On a tip from Lyle.

Agreed. Much ado about very little.

The problem isn't pain relievers, but hormones and antibiotics.

The news media have an incentive to keep people scared. They are in the commodities business. Their commodity is information. That commodity, like any other, becomes more valuable when there is more demand for it. Scaring people increases the demand for information. Hence, the Global Warming scare. Hence, the trace amounts of medicine in the drinking water scare.
The only exception to reporting on this behavior is the threat of Islamo-Fascist terror... mainly because groups like CAIR will sue them for honestly reporting on the nature of the threat, making honest reporting unprofitable.
