Iraqi Shoe Monument

A huge sculpture of one of the shoes that went flying at ole Dubya's head last month has been unveiled in front of the Tikrit Orphanage in Iraq. Apparently the sculptor, Laith al-Amiri, sculpted the shoe with the help of the children living in the orphanage. While reason dictates that it is completely inappropriate and disrepectful to throw anything at any visiting international official, my inner revolutionary was tickled pink when I saw those bad boys launched across the room. Too bad Dubya's still pretty spry in his old age.
