VILLAGE IDIOTS
From the Village Glitterati: “I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required.” —singer Sheryl Crow, proposing a way to wipe out global warming ++ “A couple of things we wanted to clear up as we wrap up our tour. First, Sheryl’s suggestion of using one square of toilet tissue per bathroom visit (part of a comic moment onstage) was a joke.” —Laurie David, producer of “An Inconvenient Truth” **A joke. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Separation of mind and body: “You know what concerns me? How many Supreme Court judges are Catholic?... Five. How about separation of church and state in America?” —Rosie O’Donnell
Supporting infanticide: “[The Supreme Court’s] ruling was, under the guise of jurisprudence, nothing short of a political and quasi-religious referendum on the rights of women to make decisions about their own lives. In finding for the ban, [they] have not merely endangered the health and well-being of women who seek to exercise their autonomous rights as citizens of this nation; they have also endangered the health and well-being of our democracy as a whole.” —Sara Gould, Foundation for Women
