During the past half-century, there have been at least nine proposals for large-scale water diversions from Canada and Alaska, including a $100 billion megaproject to pipe water from James Bay in northern Quebec to the Western U.S. and a bizarre scheme for tugboats to tow icebergs to Mexico.

Deputy chief of staff Josh Bolten scuttled over to McCain's Senate office last week to talk about HMO reform, with Health Secretary Tommy Thompson in tow.
