Scrappy Conservatives

Diane points to a really informative article about declining newspaper circulation. Bad news for those in the old time news industrial complex.

This should be good news to Sheryl Crow:

Crow, 45, writes, 'Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.

'I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.'

She writes, 'Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required.'

She should be ecstatic. Do the math, geometry geniuses! My rough estimate is that one newpaper has got to be equal to tens of thousands of TP squares. Even if only one daily is delivered to a family of, say, 12 people -- and be honest, how many people are there with 10 kids who have time to read a paper -- the pulp consumption doesn't even come close. Even when everyone in aforesaid family has got the runs.

But seriously. My guess is that Sheryl will be eating crow for these comments for quite some time, maybe for the rest of her life. And to think that this comes from the rock star who once had a hit which preached "I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up."
