    Impeachable Shoecrime

    Manolo’s Shoe Blog: Shoes, Fashion, Celebrity, and Manolo! The Manolo has posted a shocking image: not only does the middling-bad President Bush wear Crocs, he commits the sin of wearing dark Crocs with dark socks.

    At Holy Moly, a church to be renamed later, we’ve formed 4 different kinds of ministry teams, and I’ve signed on for a couple of them. One is “Nurturing,” or pastoral care, and we’re creating it from the ground up – we’ve put in for a diocesan grant to offer some kind of healing ministry in the area (taking communion, services at care centers and hospices, etc). I heard this item on WBEZ the other day, and it’s been on my mind for a while. I was talking to my friend Katy last night, and mentioned an idea that I’d…
