An entire nation breathes a sigh of relief today, as Sheryl Crow has claimed that her proposal to restrict toilet paper usage to one square per restroom visit was a joke, as this blogger suspected. Unfortunately, Crow had no ment on the status of her “dining sleeve” device.

You can count on the PowerBlog to bring you the latest news and updates on this important story as they occur.

The reaction to it should tell her something about the environmental movement. People thought it was a serious suggestion because they are used to hearing equally ludicrous ing from environmentalists. Even The Daily Show took her at face value last night.
