Salute

Salute to Muntader al-Zaidi, a/k/a shoe throwing guy. For doing what millions of Americans did not have the courage to do for eight years.

Only a truly arrogant and solipsistic man would appear in front of the Iraqi people and call the invasion and occupation of their homeland a "gift." In a way, this simple act of defiance is so fitting. While most Americans hemmed, hawed, searched around for some reason to justify or deadly actions, and came up with some logic defying moments, Mr. al -Zaidi cut through the mustard.
