The Shoe of…Life?

This is a story that is not reported in the United States. Obviously, you can make an argument that the man who threw the shoe at Bush is of no consequence to the everyday citizen of this country. However, I must point out that it could be seen as an attempt on our previous leader’s life, which, no matter how you look at it, is of serious consequence to everyday citizens of this country. I still think it is facinating that a man who probably will seek asylum in Switzerland is honored in Iraq by a bronze statue with a tree in it. I think a good alternative might be something along the lines of allowing him to stay in the country. But what do I know?

If an Arab news station says Iraqis love voting, then we should be utterly chomping at the bit for our midterm elections. Or the election of your local school board. Or neighborhood association president. I refuse to be out-enthused by a four year old democracy. Game on America.

Props to this guy. By all means, if you have an effective way to warn commuters of the dangers of zombies and other undead threats, then you should most definitely use that power to serve the common good.

These are the guys I’m going to hire to build my flux capacitor.
