My problem is with the secrecy about breaking the law. If he had pled guilty to shoplifting and told no one, it would still be an issue for me. The man is a lawmaker, fergawd'ssake
exactly.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It looks like the current strand of the argument is that Craig should either be investigated for, or resign because of, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct. Failing that, he should be investigated for, or resign because he did not issue a press release about it. I can't say I agree. I don't recall Patrick Kennedy being investigated when he pled guilty to DUI, and this is arguably a lesser charge. Nor do I see why his office should have pre-emptively announced it. But minds may differ about the latter. Not sure it's related to Senate Ethics though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is it "issue a press release" or is it "report to the committee"?
I honestly don't know. Is there something you're supposed to do senitorially when you eff up legally?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They say booties are in for the fall. I swear, I hate booties. They confuse my eye when I'm consuming an outfit. But there's a part of me that wants these so bad, or these based on a teenaged trauma over what my mother wouldn't let me wear, even if I spent my own money.
I know it's not a sensible way to covet shoes, and I'd never spend that much money on them. But dude. Wicked ugly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In less bizarre shoe news, on my way into my building just now, my heel got caught in something, and I both wrenched my foot and lost the little rubber part off the heel. The thing is, I don't like the shoes that much anyway, so I'll probably never get it fixed. Hmph.

In the back of my closet, coated in a decade's worth of dust and cathair, I have a pair of black suede shoes shaped like the second shoe.
I've had 'em since high school. I need to get rid of them, I think. Not sure why I still have them. I've had shoe purges.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I love the Nine West ones, though in general, I'm a "No" with booties. That last pair confuses me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was all about the lace-front ankle boots in the 80s. And there was one pair which had metal on the heel and perhaps also on the toe that I craved so damned badly...I can even remember being in the store on Oxford Street repeating the age old refrain of "But it's my money! Why can't I?"
Never got them.
May need to work through some stuff.
I am concerned that I will not work through some stuff, but instead by some punk-lite booties and wear them with fishnets or thigh-highs. Or, really both. And a skirt shorter than the one I wore to Allyson's reading.
Yeah. Midlife crisis in full flow over here.
At least--that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Oh, and that last pair--I can't even see the foot in it.
