- Answer for "Is there a decent chlorine bleach alternative that can get rid of mildew in towels?"Courtesy of lifehacker.com: 1. Put your towels in the washing machine, using the hottest water available. Add one or two cups of white vinegar. Do not add detergent, fabric softener, or any other products at this time. Run the washer. 2. Leave the towels in the washer and wash the same load again just as you would normally with laundry soap. Again, use the h […]
- Answer for "Who is your favorite US President, and why?"I will speak up for Gerald Ford (no. 38). Here was a man that found a way to take a country from one of the darkest criminal periods of the Presidency with Nixon and move it on.

The Secret Service and military don't f*** around when the Chief is here. Among other stops in the Seattle area, Air Force One will be landing at Paine Field for Mr. Obama to tour the Boeing factory where it was built, and talk to Boeing workers. Nothing to be alarmed about, just Presidential Securi […]
