But man, could he ever roll the "R" on, "My Brrrrrreath, My sunshine" when he sang, "Down From His Glory", and it makes me consider the amount of time I'm currently wasting typing all this nonsense.

You mean Ferdinand Marcos or his wife that had all the shoes?

Great, now I've got the song stuck in my head.

Is your name Imelda? I think she took over when Ferd died. Maybe you could auction shoes at a conference! Oh, who will preach to the lost?

I work as a statistician and U.S. Consumption Overall, the U.S. footwear market slowed in 2007. U.S. consumption of footwear declined 0.4 percent, from 2.403 billion pairs in 2006 to 2.393 billion pairs in 2007.

Growth in U.S. consumption of men’s work shoes was robust but slowed somewhat during the second half of the year, increasing by 37.4 percent in 2007 after having registered a startling 62.9 percent increase during the first half. In contrast, U.S. consumption of women’s footwear (nonrubber), the largest footwear category by far, only increased a modest 0.8 percent in 2007 to 952.173 million pairs. U.S. consumption of athletic shoes fell 10.1 percent to 334 million pairs and U.S. consumption of slippers fell 9.3 percent to 119 million pairs.

In my field of psychology, the strongest research procedures lead to unambiguous conclusions that apply to a wide variety of other situations and people.

Hmmm, interesting. I never considered this. So do you think this helps or hurts Sarah Palin's chances in '12 and how will the shoe market impact the intense email argument that Todd Palin recently had with the governor of Alaska?

Doubt it - they wear fur lined boots.
