More on Crow
On the Laura Ingraham show today she had a segment with the wonderful Mark Steyn. At one point they were discussing Laura's comment about the Sheryl Crow one piece of toilet paper for climate change where Laura had said "Liberals need to stay out of our bathrooms" and Mark Steyn said "All we are saying is give one piece a chance."
Now to be fair Sheryl Crow on her blog she now says "And by the way guys, the toilet paper thing...it was a JOKE!!" So I guess she is now opting for the failed joke category as John Kerry did. But at the same appearance she also talked about her dining sleeve.
I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve." The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold.
Now what exactly is virgin wood? Would that be a "Cherry tree?" "When a bird or bee approaches some virgin wood with a bit of pollen does it say "Not tonight I have a headache." Do they fend off Beech bums? Or are they virgin trees because they are not very Poplar and need to Spruce up first. The next thing is I wonder if she has ever heard of the obscure invention called the handkerchief. If you are going to actually invent a clothing line with a Kramer like invention called the "dining sleeve" please don't try to tell us the the TP thing was a joke.

And by the way, my kids have already invented the dining sleeve. Or perhaps they have just perfected what every boy before him has used.
It is just the sleeve of your shirt and a mother to do laundry.
It does seem elegant though with the cute name. I can see all the high class people wanting to rudely wipe their face all over their sleeve.
Oh, and Virgin Wood. Obviously that is where the birds and bees have not nested yet.
What the heck is wrong with using cloth napkins?! Oh wait, is Sheryl going to invent that next? Like Al Gore inventing the internet! Sheryl Crow introduces a new sustainable environmentally friendly alternative to the paper napkin...the Cloth Napkin! Or if you wish, the Portable Dining Sleeve!
A few months ago, Sheryl Crow was just a rapidly aging minor songstress. All of a sudden, she's a major spokesperson for a host of leftist causes. This seems to be a trend in celebrities. They reach a certain critical point, and suddenly they become politically active. Mizz Crow was happy enough making saccharine pop songs for a very long time. Nobody cared what she thought. Something vile must have happened to her to thrust her into the midst of the neofascist liberal machine.
If we could identify the trigger, perhaps we could save more celebrities. I'm betting the pathology somehow includes Robert Redford.
Ah...I see. She's a redneck.
In "Annie Get Your Gun", Annie is addressing her little brother, telling him either to wipe his mouth or his nose (I forget), saying, "Whatcha got a sleeve fer?"
So you see, Crow is actually just showing the color of her neck.
"And if you use your sleeve for a handkerchief....you just might be a redneck..."

Given the choice between deflowering trees and ripping apart cotton...I choose cotton. It's nicer.

The sad thing is that Ms. Crow is now going to be remembered for this Toilet Paper Thing more than just about anything else. Jokes have a way of sticking with you FOR GOOD!--ask Dan "Potatos" Quayle.
Most new paper these days is made from fast growing poplars, which are NOT found in forests, they are farmed. This is however only a recent development, as in the days when there were a plethora of actual lumber mills in the west, a great deal of paper was made from wood chips and sawdust that were the byproducts of the process. Save paper, save a tree is just simply not a true statement.
Uh...trees are one of those renewable resources the lefties are always whining about. What's wrong with using wood products when the trees will just grow back?
I am going to "invent" a whole suit made entirely of paper napkins in order to prevent the wasting of cotton and the torture of sheep.
I was at one of these global warming awareness events that she made that "one toilet paper sheet" comments. It was meant as a joke between songs, changing instruments and whatnot. She was playing the enthusiastic and good intentioned but dumb blonde while the guy with her was acting as the foil.
Now I can make other comments both good and bad about the event but I find the way the whole toilet paper fiasco has blown up is ridiculous, and so would anyone who heard it in its original context.
Oh yeah, she brought out an accordion and played a Beatles song so that's got to count for something.
I would say to 'Churwill' Crow that she should just do what Laura I. would say..."SHUT UP AND SING!" but I never thought she had a such a great voice or talent for writing in the first place! I agree that she's going with the "no, no, it was a JOKE!" defense and that makes people sound even more foolish. They are not fooling ANYONE, and even funnier is that they don't REALIZE that!
