Tide To Go

This is not a paid advertisement, much to my chagrin, but rather a friendly consumer testimony. I am an idiot. An idiot who frequently spills any manner of crap on myself, especially while at work. Like five minutes ago, for instance, when I spilled something brownish on my silvery top in an unfortunate area. Luckily, I always keep a Tide To Go pen in my desk, and the things really work. They can get out anything. The two obvious downsides being: 1) the carcinogens that I'm sure are leeching into my bloodstream as I type, and 2) it smells like a week-dead cat. However, setting these petty complaints aside, they work! At my last job people were constantly borrowing mine, which was cool until this one freaky chick borrowed it to remove blood. Not cool. So, now I advocate everyone getting one of his or her own. Try it, you'll like it.

Get Your War On by David Rees

Socialism for the Rich

Via The Stranger, economist Nouriel Roubini's take on the current economic situation:

"The lesson of this sad and sleazy episode is that when profits are privatized and losses are socialized we get sleaze capitalism and corporate welfare that becomes public bailout of reckless lenders. All this from a US administration that hypocritically praises every other day the virtues of private markets capitalism. For all of us who do truly believe in free market economies where a variety of public goods are provided by governments and the financial sector is properly supervised and regulate this is not a capitalist system but rather socialism for the rich."

Great Cooking Site

I just found this great cooking website, thanks to an article in the Washington Post by Joe Yonan, called 101 Cookbookes. It is healthy, mostly vegetarian recipes that sound absolutely delicious. I am definitely going to try the recipe for a tempeh, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Some of the other vegetarian cooking sites I've seen look a bit out there, but this one I like. Tell me what you think.
