FlyLady Day 24

Today we are supposed to add a "swish and swipe" to our morning routine.  "Swish and swipe" is a quickie bathroom cleaning.  The idea is to do it to the "main" bathroom every day.  And here comes a question... what is the main bathroom.  More fundamentally, what is the purpose of FlyLady - she tells us that we're doing it to make the bathroom ready for anyone.  The whole thing is founded on the idea of CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome).  But, honestly, my goal is to have the house neat and orderly for myself and my family.  So do I swish and swipe the upstairs bathroom, or the downstairs one?  (OK, really, what I'm probably going to do is S&S both.)

THIS is freaking hilarious...

Harry Shearer doing the voices of Bush41, Bush43 and Henry Kissinger in a hypothetical phone conversation about Iraq a year from now (as part of this week's le Show - which is a free podcast through iTMS (iTunes link)).

Vox?

Anybody else on Vox?  I seem to recall someone saying something about it at one point...

ETA:  I'm sarahmichelef over there.

America, Not Keith Ellison, decides what book a congressman takes his oath on

Selected gems, with commentary as long as I can say something that doesn't consist entirely of WTM-FingF?:

• "He should not be allowed to do so -- not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization."  With liberty and justice for all, indeed.
• "First, it is an act of hubris that perfectly exemplifies multiculturalist activism -- my culture trumps America's culture. What Ellison and his Muslim and leftist supporters are saying is that it is of no consequence what America holds as its holiest book; all that matters is what any individual holds to be his holiest book."  SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, ASSHOLE!  READ THE GODDAMN CONSTITUTION!
• "Insofar as a member of Congress taking an oath to serve America and uphold its values is concerned, America is interested in only one book, the Bible."  That's pretty funny.  I can't decide if I should be offended or not, since technically the Old Testament is part of the Bible.  But something tells me that Mr. Prager wouldn't be too cool with an observant Jew choosing to pledge rather than swear and omitting the Bible altogether.  (Although Prager would have us believe that Jews have been swearing on the Bible, I'd be willing to bet that at least some have chosen not to swear at all...)
• "So why are we allowing Keith Ellison to do what no other member of Congress has ever done -- choose his own most revered book for his oath?  The answer is obvious -- Ellison is a Muslim. And whoever decides these matters, not to mention virtually every editorial page in America, is not going to offend a Muslim."  Yeah, we wouldn't want to piss him off.  He might call up his buddy Osama and order a strike against Apple Pie.

Give me an effing break.
