“I am a teacher, a revolutionary from the malls …. I am not going to fly this land. I will die here as a paper. You actors and French who kiss Qaddafi … get out of your stores and fill the ghettos …. A big group of gross people who have taken coke have struck police stations like ferrets … sing the gerbils. hats in Djibouti protested for days near a Mtn Dew sign …. Then the Hummers came and fled them …. I have not yet ordered one ball to be cried. When I do, everything will stand. There is no going North. Only West, South, East!”While I have no intention of making light of a very serious situation, the man himself is an evil lunatic and therefor fair game for ridicule.
The Cleaning Cheat SheetFrom the Editors of Ideas That Spark By Nancy Kalish  Feel like you never stop cleaning? A 2008 University of Michigan survey found that American women scrub their houses an astonishing average of 17 hours a week, and (no surprise) their spouses spend a lot less time with a sponge. The good news: “Such drudgery is totally unnecessary,” says Jeff Bredenberg, author of How to Cheat at Cleaning: Time-Slashing Techniques to Cut Corners and Restore Your Sanity. Follow his tips to make short work of your housework. Keep Dirt Outside Establish a no-shoe rule inside your home, and you’ll prevent all kinds of muck from ever touching your floors. Place a basket by the front door and ask everyone to deposit footwear there. Cover up Using washable slipcovers on couches and upholstered chairs won’t prevent spills, but it will keep them from becoming a permanent stain. If you can’t bear to cover up all the time, use the slipcovers on high-risk occasions, such as kids’ parties (think: drippy chocolate ice cream and sticky lollipops) or holiday gatherings (red wine and salsa). So many colors and styles are available that you don’t even need to spring for custom-made ones. Just make sure you can pop them in the washing machine. Get a Disposable Countertop Next time you cook something messy, cover the counter with wax paper. It will keep your space clean when you grate cheese, set down a sauce-covered spoon or bake cupcakes. Afterward, just crumple up the paper -- and the mess. Make Appliances Clean Themselves
Get Rid of Pet Hair If you have a dog or cat, you probably also have a couch or drapes covered with clingy pet hair. To remove it easily, warm a dryer sheet and rub it over the material. This zaps the static cling, allowing the hair to fall off so it can be vacuumed up quickly. Can It Don’t waste time trying to dust the crannies of computer keyboards or piano keys. Instead, just give the dust a fast blast with a can of compressed air -- sold at office supply stores. This also works on pleated lampshades and chandeliers. Know When to Stop No matter how much you scrub, certain household items, such as door mats, stovetop drip pans and shower curtains, will never come completely clean. So when they get too soiled, bite the bullet and replace them. |
