John McCain has said that a political leader who flip-flops can't be trusted. To echo that point, Alternet's Steve Benen has compiled a comprehensive tally of John McCain's flip-flops on issues ranging from national security to energy. These are clearly 180-degree switches by McCain on the biggest issues of the day. 61 McCain flip-flops in all, just on major issues.Just two examples:"McCain recent

Do you agree that public shower, swimming pool and the beach are the only places flip-flops should be worn? I am starting a flip-flop controversy. I have the same opinion to a certain point because you might unaware about this but wearing a pair of flip-flops for everyday of your life might cause foot, leg and back problems. In fact, flip-flops force you to walk the wrong way, so wearing them all

Oprah's been bragging about these sandals. And these flip flops, called Fit Flops. are all the rage in England. Fit Flops were designed in the United Kingdom. It seems like almost everyone has a pair there. And these 'gym in a sandal' creations are now catching fire here in the U.S.Since it's summer, and we're all trying to stay healthy and sexy at the same time, why not try a pair of Fit Flops? T

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

When Barack Obama started his fairy tale run for the White House, the operative term was CHANGE. CHANGE this, CHANGE that, CHANGE everything, was the promise from the charismatic young Marxist who set the nation afire with his naive exuberance, confident demeanor, and ability to send "inevitability Queen" Hillary Clinton back to the US Senate

John McCain made claims that the 2008 election “is about trust and trusting people’s word.” Keith Olbermann asks if the American people trust someone who has flip flopped on so many issues? He then goes on to enumerate GI educational funding, lobbying reform, campaign reform, immigration, gay marriage, abortion, nuclear waste … torture of detainees, the Iraq War … and a long, long list o

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.

In what has become an annual rite of the past few summer’s President Bush blamed the Democratic Congress for the energy crisis for not allowing offshore oil drilling. "The President's proposal sounds like another page from the Administration's Energy Policy that was literally written by the oil industry: give away more public resources to the very same oil companies that are sitting on 68 millio

Researchers are finding evidence that summer flip-flops may cause foot pain. Personally, I've never been a fan of flip-flops. I do have a pair, but I only wear them when it's really hot, and I'm hanging out at the beach or a pool. Flip-flops are not that comfortable, and the thong in the middle usually tears apart the sensitive skin between my toes. OUCH! I remember my mom had brought a cute pair

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.

Memo to John McCain: Republicans run to the right in the primaries, and to the left in the general. That would be the usual pattern, anyway, but this is not a usual year, and because John McCain stands for little more than getting himself elected, he is still trying to shore up his rightwing base long after he clinched the Republican nomination. Which leads to articles like this: Adviser Says McCa

Flip-flops may throw off your stride and cause pain in your lower legs and feet, according to a new study.

On another day, the same participants walked across the platform wearing their own athletic shoes. When the participants wore flip-flops, they took shor

I had to visit a podiatrist today. My Plantar Fascitis is back. I had it in my right foot before we moved to NC. If you've never had this uncomfortable foot problem, you are lucky! When I had it in 2006, it lasted a year. This time, I am determined that will not happen. Especially since I have it in both feet - luckily one day it is in the left and the next week, it will be the right foot!

Oh oh. Without a common point of reference, [...]

The world is obliterated by many man-made products, momentarily useful and when discarded, they leave a nasty scar on the planet. It is often the poorest parts of the world that suffer the worst environmental degradation. The flip-flop is the most basic footwear for so many in the world, and every day thousands of these non-degradable pieces wash up on beaches around the globe, blighting the coastlines and the lives of local coastal people and the marine ecology.

By examining failures we can get a better sense of

Remember my dorky admission of love for revolutionary social scientist Bernard Rudofsky? Since I'm not one to leave a crush go unrequited, I made the excruciating journey to the Getty Museum on my least-favorite freeway (the 10 west) and also my second-least-favorite freeway (the 405 north) to see the Rudofsky retrospective. I left at 4 PM and arrived at 5:15. The museum closes at 6:00. So I had 45 minutes with my love, and believe you me, I made the most of it. True passion transcends the limitations of time, you know.The exhibit was pretty tiny, but there were photos of his work everywhere and the viewer was encapsulated by All Things Rudofsky by the walls and dividers being printed with blown-up prints of his designs. Cool! [Read about the exhibit installation here.] Rudofsky started

Like the rest of the metro’s broad and upscale middle class, I went to the mall last Friday with the thought of buying a few things and spending more time window shopping. After all, it was the birthday of one of the country’s national heroes – a national holiday. I was thinking of finally replacing the broken string of my old rusty guitar. But arriving at SM Cebu City, I not only bought a new set of guitar strings but found myself in time for the opening of the mall’s new North Wing. That was interesting enough. Also, there was the Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal show with Kris Aquino (ugh!) in SM’s parking area on the same date. But what really thrilled me was the discovery of the opening of a new bookshop in the new wing. Power Books Specialty Store is now in Cebu. And so are a lot of new book titles! The next day, I passed by the mall’s new wing again and spent a longer time rummaging through the shop with my girlfriend Beryl. Later, I went back to the same bookstore with

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.

Week 7 of the NFL season is upon us, so let's take some time to look at potential flops on your fantasy team.QB Ben Roethlisberger: The good news for Big Ben is that he gets his top two receivers, Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes, back after brief absences. The bad news is, the Steelers are playing at Denver and their two Pro Bowl cornerbacks, Dre Bly and Champ Bailey. Together, they have helped the Broncos become the number one pass defense in the NFL, allowing only 145 pass yards per game.QB Brian Griese: Griese has put up some decent numbers while replacing Rex Grossman for the Bears, but playing in Philadelphia may change that. The Eagles have the 9th ranked pass defense in the NFL, and though safety Brian Dawkins is questionable for this game, expect Philly to come with their usual arra

 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

CNNSI is running a list of the top ten Division Series flops. A-Rod, of course, is prominently featured, despite the fact that there wasn't exactly a whole lot of "flopping" taking place on A-Rod's part. Here's his competition, with AVG/OBP/SLG listed for the hitters, and W-L record, ERA, and WHIP listed for the two pitchers:Derek Jeter: .176/.176/.176Vladimir Guerrero: .200/.333/.200Garret Anderson: .222/.300/.333Chase Utley: .182/.308/.182Aaron Rowand: .083/.083/.333Alfonso Soriano: .143/.200/.143Aramis Ramirez: .000/.077/.000Chien-Ming Wang: 0-2, 19.06, 2.82Ted Lilly: 0-1, 16.20, 3.30And then there's A-Rod:Alex Rodriguez: .267/.353/.467Which one of these things is not like the others? A-Rod's line wasn't exactly typical A-Rod, but it was still that of an above-average major league hitter. Everyone else on the list was flat-out awful. He wasn't even nearly the worst hitter on his own team; in fact, he was probably the 4th-best, after Cano, Damon, and Abreu. And he played bette

Rudy Giuliani tries to tell the NRA his position on gun control has changed this much. Photo by: REUTERS/Larry Downing.Rudy Giuliani has now changed his views on gun control in order to entice Republican primary voters to vote for him. Rudy Giuliani appeared before a meeting of the National Rifle Association along with several other Republican candidates plus Bill Richardson. Rudy Giuliani, while mayor of New York City had a long record of pushing for tougher gun control and it actually helped him reduce crime in his city. The other candidates there had long been supporters of NRA issues and gun owners’ rights. Giuliani pretended on Thursday that the attacks of September 11, 2001 changed his views on the issue and that it was not next years (or late this year) Republican primary which is made up of mostly conservative voters. Giuliani told the crowd of 500 people that the attacks placed, “a whole different emphasis on the things America needs to do to protect it

From the AP:Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening. "It's not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign," Sidney Smith, Craig's spokesman in Idaho's capital, told The Associated Press. "We're still preparing as if Senator Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we're able to stay in the fight — and stay in the Senate," Smith said. Craig, a Republican who has represented Idaho in Congress for 27 years, announced Saturday that he intends to resign from the Senate on Sept. 30. But since then, he's hired a prominent lawyer to investigate the possibility of reversing his plea, his spokesman said. Craig was a no-show Tuesday as Congress reconvened after a summer break and it wasn't clear whether he'll return at
