2. I'm sorry
I'm not trying to complain about people's generosity, but I wouldn't put most of those shoes on my 10 year old dogs. I would be embarrassed to donate anyting but something that I would wear myself. I hope when we donate stuff that we keep that in mind.

3. shoes from the Iraq stampede victims


A bulldozer scoops up shoes left on a bridge in Baghdad September 1, 2005. Grieving relatives of about 1,000 Iraqis killed in a stampede combed hospitals and morgues on Thursday for missing loved ones as the nation grieved over a tragedy which has overshadowed the daily bloodshed of war.

5. Holy CRAP.
I hadn't seen that one. You really should post that in a separate thread so that it gets greater visibility (if you haven't already).

:patriot:

There's 1000 pairs of shoes that won't be marchin' toward freedom anytime soon.

If Bush's approval ratings stay at 45% this week, I'm going to be amazed. Not surprised, mind you...just amazed.

:grr:

4. Are we neglecting the dreaded Shoe Bomber?
Didn't Buckaroo Bush single-hadedly tackle him, and de-shoe him before he could blow up an airplane, or whatever.

Lets not skimp on accomplishments
