Greetings;

Back in the joy of my youth, my father told me never to trust a man wearing patent leather shoes. His underlying logic was that certain tasks, like shining one’s shoes or opening a door for one’s self, help ground an individual in the commonality of our humanity.

Does anybody know what kind of shoes Senator Obama wears?

Oh, yeah, and moral superiority is the cocaine of the 21st Century
