"The EU is saying that this (water) does not reduce the risk of dehydration and that is correct."

- Commenting on the European Union, European Food Safety Authority, announcement that bottled water companies can't claim 'water prevents dehydration.'

I'm feeling a little lazy after the Thanksgiving break, so I'll let some others do the commenting for me.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder." - Michael Savage

"This is stupidity writ large. The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are worrying about the obvious qualities of water. If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project, then this is it." - Roger Helmer (Member of the European Parliament)

"I had to read this four or five times before I believed it...It is a perfect example of what Brussels does best. Spend three years, with 20 separate pieces of correspondence before summoning 21 professors to Parma, where they decide with great solemnity that drinking water cannot be sold as a way to combat dehydration." - Paul Nuttall (MEP)

"Liberalism is the destruction and bastardization of common sense." - Rush Limbaugh

I couldn't have said it any better than these four.
