Holy crap! I hope this doesn't apply to my 10-yr-old white and blue Reeboks!

Thankfully I wear my black retro Pumas these days.

That's gonna take a lot of walking. No wonder she likes sensible shoes. I like the high tops since the other kids can't heel you like they can in low quarters.

Funny you should say that. I read something earlier from Eric Boehlert about how the AP is framing Biden telling the truth and Trump being a crazy ass liar as “opposing ideas”. Really, he calls the media “fake news” and they STILL carry water fir him. Makes you wonder who they’re really working for (or not).

I still have a lovely pair with herringbone tweed and leather accents. Vans Rule!

That said, I have no problems with my feet at all except for a really high arch that can get painful with certain kinds of lacing. First World Problem but still!

Just finished a truly terrific book, "Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and His Followers." A bunch of social psychologists' explanation of a) why Dump acts the way he does b) why his followers support him against their own interests. It sounds dry, but is extremely witty, the best look into this paradox since Thomas Frank's "What's the Matter With Kansas." Can't recommend it highly enough :))

I think she's deliberately separating from the traditional style female pollies are supposed to wear... its a visual way to distinguish herself from Hillary

These days a good pair of shoes is a worthy investment.

Donald Trump just proved he can't even pronounce Kamala Harris's name, and I just read he has declared, "Nobody likes her. She could never be president. It would be an insult to this country."More people like Harris than like Trump.Trump now occupies the Oval Office, and he is not being president.Trump now occupies the Oval Office and that is a real insult to the U.S.

It probably means, one his supporter/ killer cops will take him out when he gets out of the hospital.

I am delighted that Biden chose an energetic, charismatic, black woman as his VP. I always thought that Hillary Clinton made a huge mistake not choosing someone exciting and charismatic. Her choice was very logical and highly qualified, but her ticket needed some charisma to get voters excited.

They did the Blake's the supreme favor of staying the hell away from them.
