Most of them are <a title="Shoe Bush" href="http://www.shoebushworldwide.com/" target="shoebush">pretty lame</a>, but some of them are pretty creative.  A few examples include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Throw a shoe at Bush: Ready, Aim, Vote" href="http://www.readyaimvote.com/byebyebush/" target="aim">Ready, Aim, Vote</a></li>
<li><a title="Throw a shoe at Bush: Ninja Bush" href="http://www.tabloidgames.com/game.php?id=9" target="ninja">Ninja Bush</a></li>
<li><a title="Throw a shoe at Bush: Bush Game" href="http://www.kroma.no/2008/bushgame/" target="game">Bush Game</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If you have thrown a shoe in outrage over the Iraq War, perhaps you should send <a title="Thank you for throwing your shoe" href="http://www.thankyouforthrowingyourshoe.com/index.php" target="thanks">these guys</a> a picture of yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Andrew Sullivan <a title="The Daily Dish: The Lies He Told" href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/12/the-lies-he-tol.html" target="sullivan">writes</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>This Christianist president has a hard time with actual Christianity. He is of the fundamentalist psyche that holds that since he is on the side of the angels, he cannot do evil. And so even when presented with indisputable evidence of his own acts, his own memos, his own staff&#8217;s decisions, he cannot own the consequences. He asked for memos from apparatchiks saying it wasn&#8217;t torture, as if this guaranteed it wasn&#8217;t torture. He reacted to the tangible consequences of his own decisions as if someone else had been president, or someone else&#8217;s signature was on those memos, or someone else&#8217;s vice-president had publicly embraced torture as a &#8220;no-brainer.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Even a president should be held accountable for his biggest lies.  Didn&#8217;t Richard Nixon teach us that? How easily history is forgotten or simply ignored.</p>
