I have been in bed (well sort of) sick with the flu for the past two days compliments of my wife. Lately a lot of people have been giving me crap about not blogging so much any more. Since Thanksgiving, things have been CRAZY at work, plus it has been no picnic with Grand Rapids Public School Board either!
At least today I feel well enough to sit at the computer and catch up with my blogsphere reading. I came across this gem from Colin Powell.
The CNN version of this interview includes Powell stating that the Republican Party needs to stop allowing people like Rush Limbaugh from being its spokesperson because people like him appeal the our lesser instincts rather than our better instincts.
If you happened to watch the news this morning, you discovered that Pres. Bush made a surprise visit to Iraq today. Well moments ago this happened at his press conference.
Of course we all remember the Iraqi people toppling the statue of Sadaam and hitting it with thier shoes. For an Iraqi touching someone with your shoe is an extreme show of disrespect. To hit someone with your shoe is even more severe. How far we have come since we invaded Iraq!

I like the shoe video. Mitch told me he heard the Red Sox have offered him a multi-million dollar contract to pitch for them.
I would think someone firing their shoes at you at 100 mph in any culture would pretty much be considered a sign of extreme disrespect :) ckcdad
