Mama, my ass is on fire!
I won't give you no potty mouth - the softness of recycled toilet paper is one subject we should all take very seriously.
The paperless, global economy may have an unexpected downside for your backside: The reduction of high-quality white paper use may hurt the quality of the recycled toilet paper made from it.
Printer and copier paper retain the nice, long fibers that make the best recycled toilet paper. But a resurgent Chinese economy and domestic waste reduction efforts are cutting the available supply of the good stuff, said Jeff Phillips, executive vice president of operations at Seventh Generation, a major recycled toilet paper manufacturer.
“The cost of office waste paper has skyrocketed (more than doubled) in the last six months primarily as a result of China re-entering the market,” Phillips wrote in an e-mail to Wired.com. “There has [also] been a reduction in availability due to more offices trying to reduce paper consumption and through the use of electronic media.”

Wingnut media attacks Obama over $100 bill redesign
All about the Benjamins
I’m pretty sure that the new $100 bills will produce some kind of wingnut freakout.Then, a few hours later, on the Drudge Report:
The most obvious angle is “they look like European money!”, but we may also see some chatter about jack-booted Federal thugs coming to take back all the old hundreds.
Also too, it’s a lot tougher to counterfeit a chicken than to counterfeit a piece of paper.
They're just too easy. You can pre-mock them now.

Tory council candidates physically attack John Prescott's team in London
I have just been told that two female Labour volunteers were knocked to the ground in a scuffle in Poplar after they were attacked by two men in Prescott masks. Their identities were allegedly subsequently revealed as Tory council candidates, one of whom is allegedly called Martin Coxall, who is now in police custody.
From a Labour source:
From a Labour source:
Two men barged the crowd around John Prescott in Poplar on his walkabout and hit one of our female volunteers and knocked her to the ground and barged another female volunteer knocking her to the ground. Their masks were pulled off and they are Tory council candidates. One of the men is Martin Coxall who was taken away in hand-cuffs by the police.From John Prescott on Twitter:
Tory council candidate in Poplar Martin Coxall attacked two women in scuffle trying to get me. Expect this from BNP not ToriesUPDATE: Labour's local candidate for Poplar and Limehouse, Jim Fitzpatrick has said: ''This was appalling and disgraceful behaviour by two of David Cameron's Conservative candidates who acted like hooligans. This kind of behaviour has no place in British politics and I will be writing to David Cameron to ask him to take appropriate action.''
