Who knew Mr. Whipple was really advocating for the destruction of old growth forests? That nice fluffy T.P. (no one likes to see “toilet paper” spelled out on their shopping list) requires longer wood fibers, while the coarse stuff is made of younger trees and recycled newspapers and computer printouts (ouch!).
Who knew Mr. Whipple was really advocating for the destruction of old growth forests? That nice fluffy T.P. (no one wants others to see “toilet paper” spelled out on their shopping list) requires longer wood fibers, while the coarse stuff is made of younger trees and recycled newspapers and computer printouts (ouch!). The Washington Post in yet another environmental wackjob report:
“The problem is not yet getting better,” said Chris Henschel, of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, talking about logging in Canada’s boreal forests. He said real change will come only when consumers change their habits: “It’s unbelievable that this global treasure of Canadian boreal forests is being turned into toilet paper… . I think every reasonable person would have trouble understanding how that would be okay.”
All I know is I’ve never seen the Canadian boreal forests and probably never will, but I probably use its products every day. Thanks olde growth!

A man of faith in a godless age is hitting Americans where it hurts.
Mr. and Mrs. American Spectator Reader, let P.J. O’Rourke talk sense to your kids.
In Britain, defending your property can get you life.
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
It won’t take long for conservatives to scratch this presidential wannabe off their 2008 scorecard.
The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?
Was the President done in by the economy, or by the politics of the economy?

Canadian forests will be in danger as long as demand remains strong from American a--holes.

Darn crazy liberals, my butt's comfort is worth a while forest of old growth trees. In fact after all the forests are cut down in Canada, I say we start using fluffy bunnies - or Malkin's face.
