For me-- the winner is the New Shoe Patriot Missiles.
(No threat is too small for a little shock & awe!)

You know I couldn't stop laughing about this until I read the words Mr. al-Zeidi said as he threw his shoes at Bush. His anger towards Bush was fueled by this dirty war for profit we have going on in Iraq. How many people have died because of "faulty intelligence"? How many people have been injured in this search for WMD that the United States sold or gave to Hussein? I ask the Iraqi people for forgiveness for the actions of our leaders and the inaction of it's citizens. I applaud the action of al-Zeidi and appreciate it's cultural significance. Thank you for the early Christmas present! Marvin in Dallas

Sweets. Flowers. Now shoes. Yeah, that worked out real well.

I think the "If I had known this would be the end, I wouldn't have started" cartoon has the best mix of humor and painfully pointed commentary.

I would like to think that at least one person over there realizes two things.
- That they can print cartoons like these, and we don't start massive demonstrations chanting, "Death to (insert country here)!
-That we can print even worse and not have to worry about retribution.

Yes, they need to release the man who did that, because by keeping him in prison and allegedly torturing him, we're not sending the message that freedom of expression is OK.

Is anyone else bothered by the consistently heavy aviation themes? I mean, I get that the shoe was flying, and I'm all for the shoe thrower (my hope is that Bush is plagued by Nikes for life), but I guess the one with just a shoe on an airplane headed for the US was a little weird. Anybody else uncomfortable?
