I pulled an all-nighter to finish my work and still had to be at the office at 8am. Which means I had to resort to a calorie-laden vanilla latte, the only way I can mange to swallow down coffee. And lo and behold, what do I find? Starbucks has changed their coffee cup colors to red with a white snowflake design. How come they never changed their cup to a Eid design? Ok, so a sheep cup isn’t very festive, but you could have cloud-looking puffs of wool, right? Sigh. Even at work I have to stare at a Christmas tree all day.
Talk of the office today is Bush getting shoes thrown at him. I find it a just punishment that the end of his ‘reign’ will be marked by getting shoes thrown at himself. And I find it hilarious how by trying to joke about the incident, he actually revealed the extent of his ignorance: he had no idea just how deeply he’d been insulted. But damn, he has some fast reflexes!
I am loving all the gamemakers who have capitalized on the incident by creating games where you can (alternatively) hit Bush with a shoe/ save him from it, and the millions of people who have already hit him! Click here and here.
Well I haven’t heard that George Bush has demanded that the shoe-throwing reporter should be executed, which is what Saddam Hussein would surely have done to anybody who had thrown shoes at him – but, of course, Iraqis only threw shoes at Saddam’s statue when it was pulled down – which was facilitated by Bush.
