Plei, these [link] wouldn't fit (size 10 shoe) and they are vintage and they cost $90. But they are out there.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Let us now sing the praises of NOT FITTING outlandishly costly vintage things that tempt us, oh yes.

I was hoping sock dreams might help Plei out. But to no avail!
speaking of thigh highs:
[link] are great and, ita, would look wonderful on you. Plus quasi conservative and yet not.
[link] racier but totally fun. corsets for your legs!
Fluevogs look great with a cuban heel!

Brenda, example of a cuban heel: [link]
With stockings, you generally only see them with seamed stockings.

Why not today? I'm seeing you in a micro mini kilt with the tartan of Clan Arameg.

I can kind of see what President Bush is saying. The number of bombings is not the only metric of progress but is the only metric that most people see. Personally I think the withdrawal of Moqtada Sadr's people from the government is the really bad sign as well as the building of the wall in Baghdad. These are signs of factions becoming more entrenched instead of buying into the political process. I haven't heard anything about Maliki's government gaining strength and getting control of the security situation.
I think Bush would do better to articulate a picture of what victory is. What specifically is the goal that we are trying to achieve? Instead he defends the war by saying that not supporting the war is unpatriotic. How can he expect people to look past the bombings if he can't provide a vision of what people should be looking for as signs of progress?
Personally, I think we need to put troop withdrawal on the table in negotiating with the Sunni insurgency and the Sadr camp to bring the factions into the political process. Then as benchmarks are met, we can withdraw in a negotiated process rather than in defeat.

The military has known since Vietnam that this is how wars are judged back home in the media age. Bush did a pretty good job of shutting down the journalism for a couple years, but that's long past.
There's no way this war is winnable. Not just because of the circumstances but because Bush's administration is so utterly incompetent.
