(H/T – Jon Ham)
The New York Times reports on the next target of the envirowhackos – comfortable toilet paper. The story hits all the hot-button envirowhacko issues, from how many trees are cut down to how much water is used to bleach to (yes, you guessed it) Gorebal “Warming”.
For those of you not from Milwaukee, there’s a reason why I invoked Charlie Sykes’ Deep Tunnel Awards (which are aired on 620WTMJ every Friday at about 11:35 am Central). The local sewer utility, MMSD (The Clean Crappy Water People), has a somewhat/almost/not quite deep enough tunnel, and MMSD tends to dump sewage (be it “blended” or “raw”) when the “100-year rains” hit on the average 3-4 times a year. That also sort of wipes out the landfill argument, because those dumps tend to send toilet paper into Lake Michigan.
Revisions/extensions (1:16 pm 2/27/2009) – Speaking of Charlie, he’s all over this.
After being busted in the chops for stupidity, Sheryl Crow back pedaled her whacko plan for reducing TP usage http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6583067.stm. Folks let her off with the “I was joking” response. Those who are familiar with the whackos know that there is no “joking” when they talk about the environment…the more absurd, the more likely it is a heart felt belief.
