I was given the name Leo not quite 30 years ago, yet I'm still trying to define myself otherwise. I could be described as a postmodern deconstructionist anarcho-capitalist. I think we've all forgotten who we are, to a certain extent. This is my attempt to find myself, or you. If you think you know who I am, or who you are, or that I know who you are, or who you might be someday, feel free to engage me at any time: leo (at) amnesiacs (dot) org

Bush Ducking From Two Shoes President Bush - ducking from two shoes that a report threw at him in Baghdad. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground after the 2003 invasion. (via emilyposts) Here’s video. (via synmirror:peterwknox) Roughly translated, the reporter screamed, “I got yer going away present right here, pal.”  I hope this guy didn’t have tea scheduled with Blackwater any time soon.  Prime Minister Nuri al Malachi barely flinches.  Either he knows that he’s relatively safe standing next to “that one” (insert gratuitous thumb-jerking motion here), or he’s supremely confident of this guy’s aim.  White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino was reportedly injured in the melee: she took a microphone to the face and is now sporting a black eye.  Well, aside from being George W. Bush’s final Press Secretary, anyway.
