Although I'd hope this is an AP exclusive, I wouldn't be surprised if it was carried by the others.

I think you're being a little bit too hard on AP and on reporters in general, Kate. I think it's safe to say that most people have been at least a little bit concerned, if not actually worried, about how Imelda Marcos' shoes and gowns have been holding up.

And too many blogs like this one that revel in nonsense news stories like this one.

No better than the ones you complain about.

When nor blerting out mind numbing concocted blab-feed, they really are hard pressed to determine the worth of a real news item. AP = American Propagandists

Ah Yes, Imelda's 1200 pairs of shoes. The most significant story of the entire Phillipine's People's Revolution.

Not who won, who lost, what it meant for the people and the economy of the Phillipines. 1200 pairs of shoes was symbol of the revolution and the story according to the MSM here in the US.

Nonsense
Its relevant when embassies are burning, people dying, a New fascist movement is shaping up from Islam. Climate Hucksters abound. An American president on his knees to known terrorists. With a Secretary of state in utter denial. A government lying in every direction. The American constitution under assault. A world economy crashing.Yet we have people worried about a Queen bees shoes?

Scumbag media. Most filipino's I know would be happy to see every mention of them burn.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
