Default D'OH! Oil everywhere! How do I clean up?

Damn, damn, damn...DAMN. To make a long story short:
1. Doing oil change
2. Put on new oil filter
3. Was at bad angle so got out to reposition (didn't tighten the filter)
4. Might as well go poop while I'm out )
5. Put oil in motor
6. Start car, check under for leaks
7. NOOOOOOOO!!!

So what's the best thing to use to clean up the oil stains in my garage and on the street? My driveway looks like a scene out of Tele Tubbies!

There's this crap we sell @ pep-boys, I think its called Oil-Dry or sumthin like that, they use it out in the shop, so its pretty good I guess (but those guys are always spilling oil ).

lol. I remember a while back I came home and i see oil trails on my street my drive way..... Park the car and my dad is cleaning everything up with my mom standing there yelling at him . He forgot to tighten the oilfilter so not ony did it spill in the garage but also he drove it around the block . So that explained the oil trails on the street . Goodthing he didnt kill the engine . Overall it was pretty funny . He cleaned up the garage and driveway . For that try some driveway cleaner but before that tryu some dishwasing soap and water and scrub it down good . Pray for a lot of rain .

cheap kitty litter without any fragrance or wood shavings just let it soak it all up then use the dust pan, for the floor after brake parts cleaner should take care of that.
