They are restricting the amount of toilet paper the inmates can have. It's not quite one sheet at a time, but they are cutting the amount the inmates can use each month. Officials say the prison has long had a limit, but they learned recently that it hadn't been enforced. Increased enforcement began this month.

However, I think we should pooh-pooh this attempt to wipe clean the record. It seems Ms Crow is now claiming the remark was a joke, after all.

I'm glad a progressive chick like you is around to illuminate the intricacies of liberal minds: up is down, black is white, good is evil, like that. Once again, we conservatives are stymied by leftard "nuance." As Ace would say, <i>layers</i>.

But, I have not seen ANY reference to her comment as if it was a joke, other than Kathy’s. If she was joking, she should say so (even Al Gore tried to claim he messed up his attempt at a joke). But, she has done a lot to discredit the eco-nazies, and make them look like fools and hypocrites. And, that is very good thing. Way to go, Crow!

Memory hole and all that. That's why I pasted the offensive crap on my blog - because I thought it would quietly disappear like the other times it was done on other blogs. The point of that was that the "humor" is exactly as unfunny as what you think is Crow's joke. By the way, do take a look around all the major media outlets and see if they are reporting Crow's blog entry as a joke. British papers are carrying it as straight news, as is Yahoo and a lot of other outlets. If it was a joke, it backfired. Crow is a laughingstock. <i>Because it isn't funny.</i> I’m not surprised that it has been disappeared. Memory hole and all that.

I got a 404 Error message. Second, you still have not explained what the Wolf Blitzer in blackface "joke" has to do with Sheryl Crow. Nothing in what was written in your 2006 post explains it, either (of course not, since it was in 2006, not today, right?) So I remain mystified as to what the blackface issue has to do with Sheryl Crow's toilet paper joke. I very much suspect that you don't know either, and would be completely unable to tell me in any logical, coherent fashion, if I were to ask you. But I'm also convinced that you sincerely think there is a connection -- even though you can't tell me what it is. Gaius,

What's the connection here to the square of toilet paper joke? I do think Crow's joke was funny. But I think it's even more funny that you took it seriously, and are still taking it seriously. The reason there is "nothing on the blog to indicate it was a joke" is because most grown people would be able to figure out that Sheryl Crow's recommendation that people use only one square of toilet paper, "except, of course, on those pesky occasions when two to three could be required," could not possibly be anything BUT a joke. How could anyone possibly think she was serious? I mean, you've got to be kidding. Maybe YOUR post is a joke, and you've played a good game of "gotcha" on ME.

And the media is carrying it as straight news, not as a joke. If it was a joke it has backfired on Crow - she has essentially eliminated herself as a spokesperson. Because people who read about this in the paper will think she's gone nuts. And if it was a joke, it was a very poor one at that. But then I don't think the "cutting edge humor" of putting Wolf Blitzer in blackface was particularly funny. At all. Maybe you need to look at your own sense of humor if you think this was funny.
