In Passing

Rounding Second, headed for Third (World, that is!)


New York Post:

[New York City] is so hard up for cash that it’s rationing toilet paper in women’s public restrooms -- to the point where bathroom attendants are doling out a few measly squares per patron -- along the world-famous Coney Island boardwalk.

The Post witnessed stone-faced Parks Department employees leave toilet-paper dispensers empty last week and instead force astonished female beachgoers to form "ration lines” in the bathrooms.
Chris Wysocki recalls P.J. O’Rourke’s famous line:
These were people who believed everything about the Soviet Union was perfect, but they were bringing their own toilet paper.
They’re called Progressives, and this is the world they want for all of us.
