Subject: THE SOLE OF A THANKFUL NATION


I have been obsessed, of late, with the video image of Bush and Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist-shoe thrower. In this time when actual justice is dead, the only kind of redress that remains in the hearts of free people of good will is the symbolic kind. There is now a call across the Muslim world for a "shoe jihad" against President Bush (I kid you not). Al-Zaidi received summary Amerikan thug-justice for his spontaneous act of righteousness and retribution against the biggest criminal and mass murder since Pol Pot. He was severely beaten, his arm was broken, and he was whisked off to a hospital within the Green Zone. I find it hard to believe his fellow journalists administered such a beating. His recent recantations smack of evident "reprogramming." The punishment for killing over a million of your fellow humans is a cushy pension, a presidential library and retirement to a fortified compound in a South American country, whereas one who throws his shoes at such a criminal and calls him a dog, faces up to 15 years in prison.

I fervently hope and pray that this idea catches on and, for the rest of his life, Bush will have to remain eternally vigilant for unexpected, incoming, high velocity footwear. I for one pledge, that if I ever come near the man, my shoes will be off to him, no matter what the personal consequences. That, for my mind, would be only partial justice.

Peace,

I love it, Bob! I've been obsessed with the shoe incident, too, just in a different way.

To U.S. TAXPAYERS: Mind Your Own Business

 

It's something any bank would demand to know before handing out a loan: Where's the money going?

But after receiving billions in aid from U.S. taxpayers, the nation's largest banks say they can't track exactly how they're spending the money or they simply refuse to discuss it.

"We've lent some of it. We've not lent some of it. We've not given any accounting of, 'Here's how we're doing it,'" said Thomas Kelly, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, which received $25 billion in emergency bailout money. "We have not disclosed that to the public. We're declining to."
