Code Pink is having yet another Bush/war protest today. This time they're using the shoe -- made popular last week by Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi, who hurled his footwear at President Bush during a press conference -- as the central theme. The protest, it practically goes without saying, is happening in Berkeley this afternoon.
There is also a protest going on in front of the Washington D.C. today, where shoes are being placed in front of the White House, Princes Di-style.

I had some Pumas just like that and I loved 'em. Maybe I should swing by and snag that pair.
There's a way to make a point without looking like a petulant child.
thank you for not referring to code pink as "lovely," "gorgeous,"or in any way suggesting they are not physically repulsive.

At least shoes sales folks might benefit ...
