I had a good laugh when I watched the news early today.
Imagine my delight astonishment to see that a pair of shoe landed at the headline everywhere.
The picture shows President Bush ducking as a shoe barely missed him, when an irate journalist, threw it at him during a news conference in Iraq.
Oh well, maybe the guy just realized that shoes are bad and he wants to get rid of it.
And he just didn’t mean the stiletto heels, or cowboy boots, or tottering espadrilles, or any other foot-torture devices into which we wincingly jam our feet.
He means ALL shoes!
If you dont know yet, shoes hurt our feet. In fact our poor maligned, misunderstood feet are getting trounced in a war that dates back thousands of years ago – the battle of "Shoes versus Feet".
Actually, there was a study done between a modern human feet and a 2,000 year old feet skeleton and the researcher had concluded that prior to the invention of shoes, people then had healthier feet.
They say walking barefoot has its benefit.
It makes us walk better and protect our feet from too much pressure.
I am sure you would counter that if we walk or run with out pads in our feet, it will be murder on our heels.
But didn’t you know that wrapping your heels in padding so they don’t hurt is like stuffing a gag in someone’s mouth so they’ll stop screaming? Yes, we are basically telling our heels to shut up!
I know what you’re thinking: If shoes are so bad for me, what’s my alternative?
Simple. Walk barefoot.
Okay, now I know what you’re thinking: What’s my other alternative?
Oh , you can always throw your shoes at your president.

this very same incident reminds me of Vic Agustin ( of www.cocktales.ph fame ) when he splashed water at rene constantino as the latter was passionately expressing his sentiments during a presscon on the alleged railroading of chacha in congress the other year.
in short, the throwing of shoes is nothing new in the philippines. even cherie gil splashed water at sharon cuneta in bituin walang ningning. lol. =P
The idea of going without shoes makes me think of one thing. Frostbite.
One more reason to consider moving to the Philipinnes
Bush is an ass, his cabinet are asses, they raped the country, embarrassed the nation, did more than i care to elaborate in type as far as poor choices for an administration, and did NOT represent the people, like his position SHOULD....
He deserves to have shoes thrown at him, and he and Chaney alot more...
They disgust me.... I am glad someone had the gaul and oportunity to embarrass him... but in the end, he and Chaney and the rest of his corrupt cronies will all laugh all the way to the bank, which was what they intended from the beginning...
