Finally, after nearly a year we get to the bottom of the story. Last spring, you were held up as a parody of environmental correctness when you proposed restricting the use of toilet paper to one square per bathroom visit. What was that about? I think it’s a fantastic and eye-opening example of how the media is operated by political figures, of how Karl Rove was humiliated in the media and how, within 24 hours, he was able to humiliate me and take any sort of credibility away from me. What are you saying? You think Karl Rove leaked the...

During another typically bizarre day for Heather Mills, the former model yesterday urged people to try drinking milk from rats and dogs to help save the planet. Media-shy Heather started off by storming out of a radio interview with London's LBC station. She then drove a gas-guzzling Mercedes 4x4 to Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park to speak about ecological matters - and kept the engine running for part of the morning. Once there she proceeded to launch into an extraordinary ecological rant and exhorted the assembled crowds to try drinking rat's milk instead of cow's milk in a bid to...

Sheryl Crow's Toilet Paper Concerns Echoed by Environmental Group Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 21, 2007 - 10:22. Remember back in April when Al Gore sycophant Sheryl Crow actually suggested “a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting,” and then after being ridiculed for her stupidity had the nerve of saying, “It was just a joke?”Well, an environmental group called Worldwatch Institute appears to share Crow’s concerns about Americans using too much toilet paper (h/t Planet Gore).In an article entitled “Matters of Scale: Into the Toilet,” the Institute actually...

NBC Universal will devote a whopping 75 hours of air time to showing Al Gore’s "Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis.” And if Gore decides to run for president in 2008, the event would be "one of the largest ever, if not the largest, in-kind contributions to a presidential campaign,” according to The Media Research Center’s NewsBusters.org, a Web site dedicated to combating liberal media bias. In addition to devoting all of NBC-TV’s Saturday, July 7 prime time to the concerts, CNBC will carry seven hours of coverage from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. EDT, Bravo will...

Her latest lament, published on the Huffington Post, decries the “arrogance” of the American people and the failure of us to believe that which she knows to be fact. How dare we.Let’s look at what she wrote…. Sheryl Crow: On Deception, Spin, and Losing Our Way Sheryl Crow 05.04.2007“It's been well over a week since our little run in with the adviser to our president.

It's been well over a week since our little run in with the adviser to our president. I am just now processing all that took place during the last few days of the Stop Global Warming College tour and a few concerns still hang heavy on my mind and heart. First, I am deeply concerned over where we are as a nation. We are so blessed to live in a country where we enjoy so many rights that other countries cannot even begin to imagine. However, what terrifies me is not what we are ignoring about the state of our...

Archbishop Raymond Burke made it to the Fox Theatre Saturday — but only as a punch line. When Bob Costas, the evening's host, walked onto the stage he scanned the crowd, gazing into the back rows of the upper balcony before breaking the prolonged silence."All right," Costas quipped. "I guess the archbishop is not showing up."Last week, Burke resigned from the board of the Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center Foundation because Crow — a vocal supporter of embryonic stem cell research — was scheduled to headline the annual fundraiser and concert. "Sheryl Crow made it clear that she is coming...

New York, Apr 30, 2007 / 11:23 am (CNA).- The St. Louis media seems to be running a campaign against the Catholic Church, following Archbishop Raymond Burke’s protest of abortion-activist Sheryl Crow’s performance at a Catholic hospital fundraiser. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and KMOV (CBS affiliate), in particular, have invited the public to voice its opinion over the archbishop’s decision.Catholic League president Bill Donohue says the “voyeuristic posture assumed by these two media outlets is not legitimate.According to Donohue, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch “is inviting non-Catholics to opine about an internal matter of the St. Louis Archdiocese, beckoning the bigots...

Prison to Limit Inmates Toilet Paper HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) _ The state prison at Hutchinson is trying to trim its budget by limiting inmates to four rolls of toilet paper each month. Officials say the prison has long had a limit but it hadn't been enforced. This week the warden set a monthly limit of four rolls, a number set by the Kansas Department of Corrections. Inmates also get three bars of hand soap, one tube of toothpaste and one comb each month. An inmate said in a letter to the Hutchinson News that toilet paper has many uses in...

Calling Sheryl Crow "a high profile proponent of the destruction of innocent lives," the Roman Catholic archbishop of St. Louis resigned as head of a children's medical charity that featured the singer for a benefit concert. Archbishop Raymond Burke resigned as chairman of the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation after its board of governors refused to pull the plug on Crow's Saturday concert in St. Louis. She is "well-known as an abortion activist" and proponent of stem cell research, he said in a statement on Wednesday, and her appearance is "an affront to the identity and mission of the medical center,...

Archbishop Raymond Burke denounced a Catholic charity Wednesday for scheduling a benefit-concert appearance by Sheryl Crow, who supports abortion rights.Burke submitted his resignation as chairman of the board for the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation, saying the decision to let Crow sing on Saturday left him no other choice."It's very painful for me," Burke said during a news conference Wednesday. "But I have to answer to God for the responsibility I have as archbishop."A Catholic institution featuring a performer who promotes moral evil gives the impression that the church is somehow inconsistent in its teaching," Burke said.Crow is set to appear...

Citing singer Sheryl Crow's stance on abortion, Archibishop Raymond Burke said today he has resigned from the board of the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation, the fundraising arm of Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, in protest over Crow's participation in an upcoming fundraiser.

Against an elegant backdrop of political cocktail partying, singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow and top presidential adviser Karl Rove got into a heated exchange over global warming at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Crow recently joined forces with Hollywood activist Laurie David in the “Stop Global Warming College Tour,” which pretty much is what it says. The duo was seen in a heated conversation with Rove, in an incident which quickly became the evening’s centerpiece of discussion. An eye-witness recounted what they saw: “Sheryl and Karl Rove were talking. Karl looked annoyed and she was poking him [angrily]. He...

Part of my new ode to Sheryl Crow, aka "I've got an Issue with the Tissue": and you know I just don't go Number 2 Anymore And my farts, they smell like roses - Really, I don't release my greenhouse gases anymore - - That's why I'm a little more puffy nowadays - - But I tell ya, somedays it's pretty hard keeping that cork up there.. More to come.

Sheryl Crow is funkier than The Stiletto thought – if she limits herself to a single square of toilet paper "in any one sitting," as she advocates in a blog post published by The Huffington Post last week (an April 24 post on Crow’s own Web site claims the "the toilet paper thing was a JOKE!!") Was it? Or did her cheeks flush after she realized that not one sane person thinks her eco-friendly ideas "in the earliest stages of development are ... worth investigating."Number One: Even Rosie ridiculed her on "The View" (video link). Number Two: She did not...

Siegfried Hustedt is often overcome with dread when he is forced to use other people's toilets. The toilet paper he encounters in those bathrooms is almost inevitably colored or white, fluted or spotted. But for all the paper's pleasing appearance, appearance is all it is -- when used, the chintzy material often gets lumpy and decomposes into an unsavory pile of cellulose as "the embossment structure collapses under pressure." Even more dramatic is the excoriated red sore caused by overly rough foliage. Hustedt, 40, can't help but ask himself why so "many people choose to suffer to the last roll."...

Michael Ramirez gets squared away with Sheryl Crow, whose ideas he finds peculiar, here

Karl Rove can stare down special prosecutors, intimidate rivals and dispatch Democratic presidential nominees to deep oblivion, but he's no match for the frugal wiper. Getting downwind of Sheryl Crow could be everybody's nightmare. Miss Crow is a pop singer of some repute, as such reputations go, but like a lot of dance-hall glitteries she wants to do bigger things than sing songs about old boyfriends who dumped her. She's busy at the moment trying to cool down the globe, having just completed a transcontinental bus tour with her gal pal, a Los Angeles housewife named Laurie David, promising bemused...

April 24, 2007 — It all started with a joke. Wrapping up a nationwide global warming tour, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow posted a quirky "solution" online about a new way to save the environment. She wrote: "I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting." She told the joke to get people's attention, and it worked. Talk show hosts had a field day with Crow's comments. "Have you seen my [backside]?" Rosie O'Donnell joked on "The View." "It seemed like Sheryl was trying to be a little bit cheeky, no...
