The White House’s version is scary, but for other reasons.

Speaking of Halloween at the White House, there is to be no unauthorized redistribution of candy, because it’s counted:

The supply of treats, unlike the Democrats’ dreams for the debt ceiling, it not limitless.

15 Cleaning Tips Everyone With Hardwood Floors Needs To Know

Hardwood floors make an elegant statement in any home, but cleaning them is anything but pretty.

They scratch easily, dirt gets between the slats, and if you have pets, the smell from their messes is almost impossible to get rid of.

If you’re looking for a solution to one — or all — of your hardwood headaches, check out these simple tricks for cleaning, treating, and all-around saving your beautiful flooring.

1. Remove permanent marker from hardwood by spraying the spot with cologne!

You can also get marker stains off with a little toothpaste.

2. Get rid of dents by wetting the spot and dampening a cloth or paper towel. Rub and iron over the cloth on the spot in a circular motion, checking after a minute or two on the progress.

3. Get rid of creaky floors by dusting any noisy spots with baby powder.

4. Get rid of urine stains — and their nasty smells — by spraying the area with hydrogen peroxide.

5. Cut up an old wine cork and glue it to the bottom of your furniture. This will prevent scuffs and scratches when you move things around.

6. Rub walnuts into small scratches and watch them disappear before your eyes.

7. For more extensive marks, though, mix equal parts white vinegar with canola oil and rub it on the area.

8. For an all-natural floor cleaner, brew a few black tea bags and wipe your floors down with a rag that’s damp with the tea. Here’s why it works.

9. You can also make this DIY cleaner with just water, vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and some dish soap.

10. No matter how well you clean and polish your floors, they will start to fade. Bring them back to life by rubbing them down with some Old English lemon oil.

11. Literally erase scuff marks with the common school supply.

12. Get rid of tape residue on your hardwood floors with a mix of two tablespoons of baking soda and a quarter to a half teaspoon of water.

Spread the paste on the sticky area, let it dry, dampen a cloth with water and rub the spot clean.

13. Whatever you do, DON’T clean your hardwood floors with a soaking wet mop. A damp one with soap and water is better.

14. If you notice hairline cracks in the wood, don’t panic. Floors expand and contract during winter and summer months. Wait until the problem solves itself in warmer weather or speed up the process with a humidifier.

15. Finally, make your home a shoe-free zone. Have guests and family members check them at the door to prevent tracking dirt that then creates scratches and scuffs.

Obamacare poster boy mocked after story takes on Milli Vanilli vibe

http://twitter.com/#!/bradcundiff/status/386176132833214464

Yesterday, Twitchy reported that Chad Henderson, the media darling poster boy for Obamacare who the administration is using as living proof of how easy it is to sign up, is in fact an OFA volunteer.

The media rushed to report Henderson’s story, but many conveniently left out Henderson’s history as a Democratic activist, but the story got even more interesting. Henderson’s father is reported as saying that, to his knowledge, his son has yet to enroll in an Obamacare plan.

http://twitter.com/#!/reason/status/386172503225155584

Henderson himself has given the public reason to doubt his claims, having already taken back previous statements “jokes”:

Tweeters, sensing that Henderson’s tale about his embrace of Obamacare has a “Manti Te’o girlfriend meets Milli Vanilli” feel to it, are questioning his story:

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/386188889167523840 http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/386193484018769920 http://twitter.com/#!/BruceCarrollSC/status/386187669023522816 http://twitter.com/#!/RedGalBlueState/status/386177105752371201 http://twitter.com/#!/tahDeetz/status/386184506421809152

A possibility?

Lots of things about Henderson’s story just don’t add up.

Twitchy has asked Henderson a very simple question that would clear things up, and we’ll report if he responds:

.@chadhenderson did you really enroll in Obamacare via healthcare.gov? Can you prove it?
