The Radical Left, Flying Shoes, & Hypocrisy

You might recall back on December 14th that an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at then U.S. President George Bush. On February 19th he's going to have his day in court and could face 15 years in prison.

What I find most amazing is the reaction from the Bush-hating Radical Left. The general chant in the Obamabot Conga Line is that the fellow, Muntader al-Zaidi, should be given a medal. Can you just imagine their reaction if someone did that to their Messiah aka Barack Obama?!?

There's only one word for such morons: Hypocrites!!!

On The Opposite End of the Self-Reliance Spectrum

We have England, with this crazy story.

Drunk women wearing high-heels will be handed flip-flops by police so that they don't hurt their ankles. Yes, you read that correctly. Remember, we're nowhere near April Fool's Day. This is a true story.

And I realize that some will argue that such a program makes financial sense because it cuts down on health care costs. But there is an obvious question that goes begging: Do we really want to live in a society that treats us all like 3 year olds, in which there is absolutely no need to be responsible for anything? For the Radical Left, this is their idea of nirvana. For some of us it's nothing short of an Orwellian nightmare!

Colour on a Gray Day - Part 2

And these man-made gems of colour I found at 4th & Pine.

GPS Shoes

I bet that these look like ordinary running shoes to you:


To me as well. But when you turn then over there's something very different embedded in the soles:

Those are special chips that have both GPS and Cel phone technology. Originally designed for children, they let a parent identify where their child is at any moment. But I imagine that they could also be given out to couriers and other mobile employees, to help a central computer system better allocate resources.

These are the brainchild of Isaac Daniel, a Miami engineer. My friend, Kelsey, just started at this company. Very neat products!
