> [@burrunderthe\_saddle](#): > > Wacko Liberal Idea > I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but 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 2 to 3 could be required. – Sheryl Crow at the Huffington Post > [Laurie and Sheryl Go to School | HuffPost Latest News](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/sheryl-crow/laurie-and-sheryl-go-to-s_b_46320.html) I’m not sure this is a “Liberal” idea, but it is a _good_ idea. I often use too much TP and the toilet gets clogged … very clogged. Last week, in exasperation, I poured an _entire_ bottle of Mr. Muscle drain cleaner into the toilet! Now _that_ was a stupid idea! (How poisonous _are_ the fumes?) … But the toilet seems to have come unclogged. 🙂 ---

Here’s a real Stupid Liberal Idea. Nashville’s (Ex)mayor thought it would be a good idea to have an affair with her head of security. They then charged a lot of overtime and travel on the city’s dime. [She resigned today.](https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/06/politics/nashville-mayor-megan-barry-resigns/index.html) ---

Same as with the stupid Republican thread – it’s a stupid idea of a specific liberal, even if the idea isn’t itself liberal. ---

And the OP’s stupidity is once again laid bare for the world to gawk at. He should have named the thread Stupid Democrat Party Idea of the Day. See what I did there? Even got a political slur in. Them conservatives just can’t think creatively, I guess. ---
