I am convinced my water bill has gone up with the installation of the new low flow toilets. Multiple flushes and frequent clogs are the reason. I have heard this complaint frequently, but never from leaders such as Bob Vila. In fact, both his old and new shows support these rules from Washington as "environmentally friendly" and ignore their practical problems. Am I alone with this hatred of low flow toilets and why can't we do something about it?

You're not alone on this. The thing to do
is make Al -- uh -- run, as it were, on this
part of his record in 2000. ;-) If enough
of those mistaken commodes get installed in
time, his political career could go down the
-- uh -- toilet..... ;-)
