The NY Times has an article about a family writing a book about how, in an effort to be more "carbon neutral," they are forgoing toilet paper, among other things, for a year.
Do you see the irony yet? They want to save the forests by not using toilet paper, but they're publishing a book about the whole experience. A book, with hundreds of pieces of paper used in the making of each copy.
Oh, but they say the book will be published in some "sustainable" way. Which of course means those wonderful "carbon offsets," which sound a lot like the 21st century's version of selling indulgences. Didn't Brother Martin teach us that's a bad idea?
In related news, political blog Hot Air has a post about a "flip-flop defined" so clear and blatant that I don't even know what to make of it. It has the video and transcript of a Larry King Live interview with Senator Obama where, mere minutes after a clip shows him saying in a speech that "it’s time for us to bring our young people home," he remarks that he doesn't "know anybody who’s been talking about packing up and going home."
To quote a caveman: "Uh... what?"
