Bookmarks for December 16th

Some additional reading December 16th from 10:13 to 17:49:

  • Office Xmas Party: 1925 | Shorpy Photo Archive – So the office party hasn't really changed much, has it? Creepy dudes, slutty girls (and boys), inebriated bosses, yadda yadda. A hoot, in other words.
  • Shoes for Christmas – This morning, the Rude Pundit decided to honor the efforts of Muntader al-Zaidi, the Iraqi shoe-tosser, by taking out a raggedy old pair of sneakers, putting them in a Priority Mail shipping box, helpfully provided by the United States Post Office, and shipping them to President George W. Bush at the White House. He included a note that read, "This is a farewell kiss from the American people, you dog."

    Since throwing objects at the president is generally considered a crime, the Rude Pundit figures sending shoes to Bush is a small, good thing, a gesture of contempt that has context. Sweet Christ, at this point, there should be giant sacks of shoes heading to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC, 20500, like letters to Santa.
