Who will blink first?

How are the “fiscal cliff” negotiations going? Reportedly, Republican leaders and President Barack Obama are in a stare-down. However, many rank-and-file Republican members have blinked, apparently ready to fold a demonstrably losing hand. These Republicans have begun to rec- ognize that both morally and economically, the tax rates on the wealthy must return to those of the Clinton-Gore era. But Republican leaders apparently feel that the rich getting richer — their rates are lower than yours, dear reader — is more impor- tant than getting our country’s long-term finances in order. The negotiations began when Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner visited Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and gave him Obama’s proposal to read. McConnell, by his own account, read it, smiled and then “burst into laughter.” Geithner, apparently a little stunned, said, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile.” Obama then asked the Republicans to present a counter-proposal. Speaker John Boehner called the president’s proposal “la la land,” then offered to raise just half the Public Forum revenue Obama proposed, and to do that by closing unidentified loopholes.

And I love hearing when my readers do the same. Our first reader tip is a great reminder EVERYDAY for any- CHEAPSKATE one with a dish- washer. E A S Y D I S H - WASHER M A I N - THE BORN LOSER T E N - A N C E . We began Mary to see our dish- Hunt washer’s efficien- cy steadily dropping even though it was only six years old. The dishes were coming out spotty, even after trying several different detergents. ZITS We assumed it needed replacing. My husband decided to examine it more closely and noticed that the spray holes on the rotating jet arms were plugged with debris. He cleaned out each of the spray holes, and my dish- es have been sparkling clean ever since. Sadly, the owner’s manual mentioned nothing about doing this procedure. We are thrilled that we saved ourselves the expense of a CLASSIC PEANUTS new dishwasher. — Jean, California CORN MEAL FACIAL. I have used corn meal as a THE FAMILY CIRCUS facial scrub for many years and with excellent results. I put some regular corn meal in the palm of my hand and use a cloth to exfoliate my face. My skin feels refreshed after- ward, and it looks great! — Sue, Florida PIZZA CUTTER CUTS FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE DOUGH. My favorite use for my pizza cutter is to cut dough for chicken and dumplings. The dough is stickier than most and needs to be cut into small pieces. The pizza cutter works beau- tifully and gets it done in no time. — Joy, EC Blog CELLPHONE SNAPS REPAIR PIC. I took pictures with my cellphone of a repair that needs to be done on our ROSE IS ROSE irrigation system. When I am at the home improvement store, I will show the sales- man the problem and get what I need to repair the problem on my first trip to the store! — Kay, EC Blog CELLPHONE SNAPS GROCERY LIST. I make my grocery list on a whiteboard, take a photo with my phone and off to the store I go. — SZK, EC Blog SQUEEZE BOTTLE SEPA- LUANN RATES EGGS. I use clean, empty squeeze bottles to sep- arate eggs. First, I crack the egg into a bowl. Then I squeeze the empty bottle as much as possible and place the squeeze top directly over the yolk. Release, and the yolk will suck right up into the bottle. Repeat as necessary. This initially requires some patience, but then it’s fool- proof. — Arlene, Illinois GRIZZWELLS TWEETY BIRD REMOTE CONTROL. I attach my remotes with rubber bands to stuffed animals. They don’t fall beneath the cushions or get lost under papers or cov- ers. Snoopy is for my bed- room TV, Sylvester is for the VCR, and Shark operates my office TV. I can see them all from quite a distance, too. — Ann, North Carolina SUPER GLUE A MUST- HAVE. My husband and I keep a well stocked first aid kit with our emergency sup- plies. We include super glue, MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN as it is great for “suturing” small cuts if there’s no access to medical help during an emergency or disaster. — Kay, Florida Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
