John McCain recently flip flopped on the issue of domestic offshore oil drilling and seems to have gained a little bit of traction from people who actually believe that he is telling the truth. He isn’t, he is a fraud and he is just trying to find an issue where he and President Obama [...]
Massachusetts Senator, John Kerry, on the stump for Barack Obama, appeared CBS’s Face the Nation this past Sunday. The topic: Barack Obama’s apparent change of stance, or evolving view of the War in Iraq – otherwise known as flip-flopping. In defense of Obama, Kerry turned on John McCain, accusing McCain of flip-flopping on, of all things, the war in Iraq. The term, flip-flop, became par
There is some hope for America as the Supreme Court of the United States basically struck down a ruling by the DC court, banning Guns. Of course, the Obamassiah, flip flopped, again. A while back it seems that Obama said that DC gun law should be upheld. Now he’s saying that it was an “inartful attempt to explain the Senator's consistent position.” I ha
Say it ain't so! An article from Newsweek broke my heart when she wrote of the woes flip flops can induce. I probably own more flip flips than any other shoes, just because i don't think they ever go out of style and they're much more comfy than heels.Dr. Justin Shroyer, a doctoral student in biomechanics at Auburn, found that the toes take a beating every time you flip or flop.

This weekend I’m attending real estate/relocation meetings. The agenda arrived with a note indicating the dress code was very casual. In my mind very casual dress code means cargo pants, t-shirts and flip/flops.
I called another attendee to reaffirm flip/flops and she was thinking- flats not heels for the meetings. Oh oh.
Without a common point of reference, [...]

It's always heartening to see courageous rebels in troubled countries, such as Myanmar, getting together with the authorities to hash things out. And I mean this seriously.But I like it even more when they hash things out in flip-flops as in this pic from the NY Times showing an opposition leader and a Burmese official in talks:Surely they can reach some agreement. I mean, they're both wearing 'flops!In a completely unrelated point I was moved to read that Corey Feldman, that pitiful Lost Boy, has a toddler called Zen. Which is surely asking for trouble, and is also kind of confusing: "Zen, calm down! Zen, get your finger out of your nose!" It will be a titch ironic if young Zenny ends up on Ritalin.
Remember this statement from Hillary after one of the debates in which Obama said he would meet with Iran without any preconditions?
“I thought that was irresponsible and frankly naive,” Clinton was quoted in an interview with the Quad-City Times that was posted on the Iowa newspaper’s Web site on Tuesday.
Well that was then and this is now:
“I would engage in negotiations with Iran, with no conditions, because we don’t really understand how Iran works. We think we do, from the outside, but I think that is misleading,” she said at an apple orchard.
FLIP FLOP. Naturally Obama is now questioning her change of viewpoint over to his side on this issue.
“Barack Obama will restore our place in the world by basing foreign policy decisions on consistent principles and not political calculation. That’s a change we need and change we can believe in,” said Leslie Miller, Obama’s New Hampshire spokeswoman.
Mrs. Clinton’s spokesman i
I believe that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who wear flip flops and those who don't. For the former denotes a type of relaxed approach to life and its experiences, while the latter remains resolutely restrained in the closed realm of work, duty and two-week vacations.

Clean your feet - and the environment at the same time - using these colorful and durable mats. Sandal factories have always generated surplus foam rubber in the production of their flip-flops. Instead of going to a landfill, that flip-flop rubber is now made into these doormats. Choose from large or small sizes. Made in the Philippines. Because it is recycled all mats are unique in, size, c0lor and pattern will vary slightly.

Hardbeatnews, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. Aug. 15, 2007: Former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, like fellow Presidential hopeful, John McCain, has changed his tune on the issue of immigration reform.
My three year old told me that his plastic flip flops were broken. I looked closely at them and could see there were tears in the straps. I guess one pair, at his age, isn't going to last the summer. After all, when they come that small, they have straps around the ankles to hold them on. I'm sure he tugs on them fairly hard to put them on.He was rather distraught. So I thought fast and convinced him we'd go get him a new pair at Old Navy. He loves that store. They have this bench by the kids section with the figure of a puppy. When you push a red button it talks. Genius.He was pleased as punch with his new blue flip flops. I was pleased with the clearance price. The cashier snipped the tag and he proudly marched out the door donning them. We even trashed the old ones on the way out. Sometimes it's little victories that make you so happy.But as I popped open the backseat door to the car and he climbed in I noticed something. There was a long white string stretching down from his fo
Flip flops are the ultimate summer must-have, and because I like to have a wide choice I buy at least 2 pairs a year :)

McCain has his own flip flops to answer for, but this is pretty funny. The look on McCain's face at the end is priceless--it's like he just got caught putting a whoopie cushion under Willard's podium.
Maybe this will come as a newsflash to some people, given the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having in New England lately, but…. IT’S STILL MARCH!
Now, I’m just as happy with the 55 degree temperatures as the next girl! It’s amazing to be able to go outside without wearing a billion layers of clothing and sacrificing cuteness for practicality in my footwear. But some people at my university have just crossed the line.
Thats right, I’m talking to you, girls at my school who wore flip flops today! I’m sorry if I’m offending some of you but it needs to be said. Repeat with me here. If there is still SNOW on the ground, you don’t wear your flip flops outside. Period.
I don’t care how warm you think it is out. I don’t care how badly you want to trudge through a half-melted snow drift in your new flip flops. You just don’t look good doing it. Not even if you wear the most adorable flip fl
One of my reasons for staying at my job long past my 2 week notice is that we've been trying to put every bit of my paychecks into a special 'vacation account' to take the kids to beach in April. Since I don't make very much this fund isn't all that big enough I'm now past week six of my two week resignation! I've not thought much about our trip since making the reservations last month. However this week when I went to Costco I saw they had their swimsuits and rash guards out. I felt a little excitement stir. As I sit here in my family room, curled in an electric blanket while the snow and wind rage outside, I'm surfing online to look for 'beach wear' and came across reef sandals online. If you're also planning a trip somewhere warm this Spring, or if you are just lucky enough to live somewhere warm you can check it out too. I also need to point out for Mrs. Underground and The Kept Woman that they have Joe's and Sevens jeans in addition to flip flops. You both might

There's a guy in our building who invariably starts wearing flip flops every year as the weather warms up enough for sandals, and has his DIRTY feet on display for all to see. I had the misfortune of walking behind him today and couldn't help but staring at his sullied ...
