Hurray for the Free Market - Special Poop Edition

Rights Boy has been at his Fortress of Rightitude on a vacation vision quest. So much happened while he was gone. So today Rights Boy pays tribute to capitalism and the free market, locally and around the world, with a Special Poop Edition.

Advertising is everything on RAGBRAI. “See Cuddles Poop” beckoned the sign. "You may have to stay here awhile to actually see that, but it's guaranteed to happen." said owner Elizabeth Bixby.



And free enterprise is alive and well in China, where panda poop is made into souvenir bookmarks, picture frames and statues. "They don't smell too bad because 70 percent of the dung is just remains of the bamboo that the pandas are unable to digest," reports an official of the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base.








Environmentalists are getting in on the action. The Earth Times reports on Kopi luwak, an Indonesian coffee delicacy, $600 per pound, which comes from the poop of wild civets.




With mottos like “We will remove the DOO for You!” Pet Butler provides franchises across Iowa and the USA to pick up and dispose poop. The mission statement just about says it all.



Do you have a good story on any aspect of the poop market? New poop technology? A Green use?


Please leave a comment. No one has ever accused Rights Boy of being mature.

Dear Rights Boy,

While Dromedadog certainly is against all forms of censorship, he is most confused as to why Fox News would be listed as a venue in your "Resources" link list.

Perhaps it is included as resource for right-wing lies and obscuration? Or as a source for Bush Administration lies and infoganda? Or maybe just as an example of pre-facism, Murdochian / Orwellian doublespeakisms?

Whatever the case, Dromedaddog thinks the vast, gullible public might confuse this site for one where they could actually get real facts or unbiased information. Further he wonders if you consider providing a unique header for this "resource" to identify it for what it really is.

Dromedaddog thanks you for your patience.

Dear anonymous who claims to speak for Dromedadog,

I asked, "Do you have a good story on any aspect of the poop market? New poop technology? A Green use?"

And you ranted on Fox News and questioned my credibility! Which question were you answering, Sir? Were you just being a poop?

Rights Boy happens to find FoxNews.com mo' better and robust than the TV network, and its opinions on the website occasionally provide a good propective.
