What RadarOnline.com is for celebs and pop culture, the Toilet Paper -- www.thetoiletpaper.com -- does for the news. The new service debuts today.
Sign up now and each day you'll get a witty, humorous (okay -- snide), and intelligent spin on important news topics in current events, business, sports and entertainment. The site is designed to give you what's important in quick, perspective-giving gulps.
