The case of the mysterious Florida shoes!

Recently in Florida, this thing happened...

MIAMI — State troopers are looking for a charity to take thousands of shoes that were dumped on a Miami expressway, tying up rush hour traffic. Lt. Pat Santangelo says the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about the shoes Friday morning.

Santangelo says he's not sure where the shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash and no one stopped to claim them. He says he hopes someone will take them because he doesn't want to send them to the dump.

Workers using a front-end loader and a dump truck were able to quickly clear at least one lane by sweeping all the shoes to shoulder, but delays were expected until they could all be removed.

In an update to this information, a Miami based charity "Soles4Souls" will send the shoes to Haiti, where probably will not be thrown into a highway.

The Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating but a theory has arisen that this act was probably a protest against departing lame-duck US President George W. Bush, imitating the Iraqi journalist that threw his shoes at him.

Man, I love Florida! People are crazier than people in California or here!!!!

Love them!!!

Your Christmas moment of Zen!

Santa- "Now, Have you been a good little girl?"

Soldier- "Oh yes Santa! I killed many Iraqis that didn't convert to our true religion today!"

Santa- "HO HO HO!"

This is wrong on so many levels...

Thanks Petite Maoiste!

Egad!!! A human being was elected for President!

Time Magazine today chose Barack Obama "2008's Person of the Year", caping a magnificent year for the Hawaiian born African-American President elect.

Time also uncovered a long forgotten photo of him, when he was in college, smoking what appears to be a joint! Actually it was a hand rolled cigarette, but he looks so freaking cool!!!!

I also found an old photo of our actual lame-duck-shoe-dodging President in college being a male cheerleader.

Somebody please throw more shoes at this guy!!!

And light a doobie for our benign new overlord!

Hilarious!!!!

Lame duck president George W. Bush went on a surprise visit to Baghdad. The surprise was on him!

President George W. Bush ducked two shoes thrown at him by a man during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister’s office to mark the signing of a security agreement.

Bush wasn’t hit by the shoes, which both sailed over his head after they were thrown one after the other. The president shrugged and said “I’m OK” after the incident in Baghdad today. “All I can report is it is a size 10,” Bush said afterwards.

In Arab culture, throwing shoes is a grave show of disrespect. “This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the man shouted in Arabic.

After U.S. troops pulled down a statue of former dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraqi bystanders tossed shoes at it, according to news reports at the time. Bush said today’s incident was an example of free speech in a democracy.

The man threw the shoes from about 25 feet away as Bush, standing with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, made formal remarks before the signing of the Iraqi-U.S. agreement. Maliki tried to block the second thrown shoe as it flew toward Bush, according to video of the incident shown on television.

The shoe-thrower, who was in a group of journalists, was wrestled to the ground and taken away. “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq,” shouted the man, later identified by the Associated Press as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi- owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

At the signing ceremony, Bush said a free and democratic Iraq will now become “a force for freedom” and a “source of stability in a volatile region.”

“There is still more work to be done,” Bush said. “The war is not over.” The president said that with the agreement, “and the courage of the Iraqi people, and the Iraqi troops, and American troops and civilian personnel, it is decisively on its way to being won.”

Man! There is nothing more to say! Enjoy!

La Palin makes a big boo boo!

Jeez, a couple of days after her stellar appearance in the debate, the foot came into the mouth once again!

Read the excerpt...

US Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin has accused the Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, of associating with terrorists.

She said he had been "palling around" with an ex-member of US-based militant group Weather Underground, which opposed the Vietnam War in the 1960s.

Mr Obama once served on a charity board with a member of the group, but he has denounced its activities.

A Democratic spokesman accused the Republicans of gutter politics.

"What's clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy," Hari Sevugan said.

More on this story here!

Are they stupid? Or desperate? They try to discredit Obama instead of focusing on the real issue, how are they going to get the USA out of the financial mess their own party and fuhrer...I mean leader, George W. Bush has put them.

They feel they are going to lose and they know it...
unless...
you know...

STEAL IT!!!!

On the brink of nuclear war?

Wait a minute! First former Warsaw Pact nations including Romania, Poland and the Czech Republic join NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). A bad move since there's no use for NATO anymore. Then Georgia, who very pro-west former Soviet republic, wants to join NATO and attacks South Ossetia when they said that they wanted to join the Russian Federation. When the Russians counterattack in a very cold-war tactic, an overkill really, too blunt for my taste, the US decides to play tough guy, condemns the attack and convinces Poland to join them in putting a missile defense system against Russia.
Just an hour ago Russia declared that if Poland decides to put missiles against Russia, Russia reserves the right to attack Poland with nuclear weapons if provoked!
WHAT!!!!
When did we went back to 1962?
Another freaking missile crisis?
Freaking Jesus the Jew!!! WTF!!!!
The ironic thing is the nation that is playing peace maker between the boys is none other than Germany!!
Yes, Germany! The nation that gave us two of the most destructive wars last century, (apart from great cars, magnificent sound systems and hot porn). They have learned from their mistakes, and don't want Russia and the US repeating them!
What ticks me off is that probably Monkey Boy Bush and Evil Emperor Cheney are laughing at this!

Our Commander in Chief at work!

As you may (or may not) know, Resident...oops, President George W. Bush was in Beijing for the opening of the summer Olympic games. What you may not have seen was the unguarded moments the press caught the President making an ass out of himself! In the photos he's mocking the people in front of him, and in the other he's patting the back side of one of the female vollyball players of the US team.
It's actually really funny, but it makes me shiver that this guy is in charge and has the codes to launch nuclear weapons!
I hope Cheney has him on a short leash!
