. The war between the environmentalists and the toilet paper manufacturers (I'll call them "Big TP") is heating up. The tree lovers seek to wipe out the soft varieties. The tissue issue is that Big TP cuts down trees to make the soft, fluffy bottom wipe.

The Environmental groups say its an American excess that Big TP with its big advertising budget has influenced us to want. Big TP says they only make it super soft to fulfill their customers existing desires.

Plush toilet paper is usually made by chopping down and grinding up trees.

Now they are not going as far as to ask us to revert to the ancient method the Romans used which consisted of a branch shaped like a hockey stick and a sponge or even the old time favorite mussel shell. They want Big TP to make exclusively recycled toilet paper.

Problem is its kinda rough. Might as well just use the newspaper its made from.

Big TP has made some concessions and are working on more user friendly recycled paper but it has not caught on too well with the folks as of yet. In Europe the government just mandates the rough stuff. Would our government here in America try that? A year ago I'd say not a chance but lately.... who knows.

Toilet paper is far from being the biggest threat to the world's forests. Add in the facial tissue and it accounts for 5 percent of the U.S. forest-products industry. I'm going to estimate that Congressional Bailout and Healthcare Bills make up at least 2% but I have no data to back that assumption up.

The perpetual burning of the forests in California as well as forest fires around the globe have got to be a fairly large percentage as well, but the environ"mental"ists don't seem too upset over those trees being wasted, but I'm getting sidetracked.

OK, to sum it all up, the environmentally-friendly method of cleaning the behind short of the corn cob is to buy the toilet paper made out of out of recycled newspapers. Wait a minute, the newspapers are made from cutting down and grinding up trees too. Hmmm, I think I have the answer. Lets make the newspapers out of recycled paper and keep the ever so soft Charmin for the bum. Here's a coupon. .

 

Pension plans in dollars in Peru "should disappear," BCR says.

The US DOllar, once the most sought after form of currency in the world is getting snubbed a lot lately. The latest news is from Peru, of all places.

Peru's Central Reserve Bank President Julio Velarde, said that pensions in US dollars should disappear and be substituted by pension plans in soles, because of the high volatility of the dollar these days. “If the dollar keeps on dropping, many people could turn into impoverished pensioners in 25 years for having their pensions in dollars. The worry in the world is not Peruvian inflation, but U.S. inflation," he said.

The administration has asked for an additional raise in the fabled debt ceiling. A fictitious dollar amount that congress set as to NEVER go beyond. But as always they have jets to fuel, tens of thousands of new government employees to pay with salaries more than yours and huge expense accounts that need refilling. Hey guys as long as were bankrupting the country, why not bump it up anther 1.8 trillion, we couldn't possibly spend all that could we?

So the President is bowing to their loan officer in Communist China, the printing presses are running 24/7 and the dollar is about to drop like Obama's approval rating. So, where to we go from here? Maybe we can trade these worthless dollars for some of those Peruvian Nuevo Soles. Their economy is growing nicely dispite the world-wide financial collapse. Maybe its just good management on their part. A bunch of monkeys could do a better job than this bunch of monkeys we have in congress.

Maybe more people should have thought about this, especially when I and many others posted this picture during the campaign. The Post American World

Let me quote Julio one more time in case you missed it. "If the dollar keeps on dropping, many people could turn into impoverished pensioners in 25 years for having their pensions in dollars. At present almost all pension plans in Peru are set in dollars, and that people should turn to soles instead." Peru's Central Reserve Bank President Julio Velarde.

This is intentional people. Barack Obama and his group of leftists have a huge chip on their sholders and are intentually driving this nation in to a debt abyss that we will not crawl out of for generations. Remember Jerimiah Wright, Barack's pastor for 20 years? "Not God Bless America, God Damn America."

Hope for the best folks, but prepare for the worst. Looks like this ride is just getting started.
