White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten has issued a strict "No Shoes" policy when the press addresses any administration official.
Bolten claims that the new regulation has nothing to do with the recent attack on President Bush while touring Iraq over the week-end. "Not at all," he explained to a dubious press corps, "In fact, it's kind of a Hawaii thing, you know, leave your shoes at the door. We see it as a casual, friendly way to close things out during the administration's final days."
Bolten went on to say it was the President's idea, as a way of welcoming president-elect Obama. "After all, he's Hawaiian, or Indonesian, isn't he? They always make you take your damn shoes off. Well, that's what we're doing. Next question."

Now, why didn't I think of that?
I've been trying to make shoes go away by making the idea of going barefoot worth more money than wearing shoes. I never thought to make shoes into something immediately threatening.
I mean, they are threatening enough, with all of the diseases, discomfort and chronic, debilitating dysfunctions they cause, but I never thought to turn them into an assault weapon.
This is indeed a great day for barefooters around the U.S. If only Mr. Bush would expand the ban to include everyone. Then it would be even more glorious!
