What is with the shoe-throwing? Surely you remember the idiot that threw his shoes at President Bush? He was sentenced to 3 years in prison, and, just today, had his sentenced reduced to 1 year. Why? Just take him out back. One year is a lot more expensive for taxpayers than one bullet is. If you want to attack the President of the United States, you pay the price.
Again in the news now, a journalist threw his shoe at the Prime Minister of India. So throwing shoes is the new fad. Once again, take him out back.
