I used the Mafia as a metaphor for U.S. foreign policy. I may have mentioned Tony Soprano. This resulted in a complaint that I was contributing to anti-Italian stereotypes. I had not thought of this. To tell the truth I had worried more about using a hackneyed and stale comparison. Would most Italian-Americans consider this an insulting comparison?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Camille Paglia would, but then she's crazy....
Depends. So reminded of Dr. Melfi getting mad at her husband for "defending the honor of Connie Francis"(Or was it protecting her virtue? Same diff, right?)
msbelle, your tagline makes me laugh and laugh and laugh every time I read it.
Those are cute, for wedges. And for not having steel toes.
I want to replace some shoes, and of course it's impossible, because the ones I want to get rid of are years old, and no longer The Style. Annoying!
Steph I am glad.
ita, I was looking for flats, but having no luck for what else I wanted (not clunky, ankle strap, covered toe) - no need for steel toes for me.

Everyone needs steel toes. Not everyone knows that yet. Consider this a favour.
My flats solution: ballet flats. Now that they're so popular they're scooping a bit low, but I can still find some that cover my toes right.
Sadly, I went to DSW yesterday to buy a pair to replace some of the ones I'm killing, and they look pretty much just like my last replacement pair.
Work is turning my brain to Friday afternoon mush, which is a damned shame since the people I was depending on to think for me are suffering the same affliction.
I cannot imagine any reason for me to have steel toed shoes.
