On Why Eli7 Cannot Be a Housewife

“My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.”

I once had a teacher who said she loved ironing because she could fix something, get all the creases out, make it right in just a few minutes.

Well, all I have to say is that the teacher probably did not accidentally iron her mother's skirt at midnight, only to find that out the next morning when, after trying to put on the beautifully ironed skirt, she checked the size and found it was not even near her size and then had to wear a creased skirt to work anyway.

And that teacher probably did not have her ironing board break the next night when she tried to unfold it (the leg literally snapping off) so that after struggling for way too long with her shirt and the broken board on her bed, her shirt was still creased.

But I am giving up and going to bed. Creased shirt be damned.

Oh dear. Ironing isn't your forte, is it?

There's more to housewifery than ironing...maybe there's hope for you in some other area. Cooking or baking, perhaps? :-P

Hi. My name is Eugene Gershin. I'd like to welcome you to Obadiah Shoher's blog, Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict.

Obadiah is a pen name of a politician. He writes extremely controversial articles about Israel, the Middle East politics, and terrorism.

Obadiah advocates political rationalism instead of moralizing. He is economic liberal and political conservative.

Google refused advertising our site and Amazon deleted reviews of Obadiah's book. Nevertheless, Obadiah’s is the largest Jewish personal blog, read by more than 100,000 people monthly. 210,000 people from 81 countries downloaded Obadiah’s book. The blog was voted the best overall in People’s Choice: Jewish and Israeli blogs Awards, received Webby Honoree and other awards.

Please help us spread Obadiah's message, and mention the blog in one of your posts, or link to us. We would greatly appreciate your comments at www.samsonblinded.org/blog
