MIAMI — Thousands of shoes were dumped this morning on a Miami expressway. It caused a significant backup in traffic.
Lt. Pat Santangelo of the Florida Highway Patrol recieved the report during rush hour traffic Friday morning. A front-end loader and a dump truck were brought by a private contractor to the half-mile stretch of highway.
Workers were able to clear at least one lane after a short time by sweeping all the shoes to shoulder, but delays were expected to last until all the shoes could be removed.
Lt. Santangelo said the shoes were used and most of them were tied together in pairs, making it more difficult to pick them up in a hurry. He says he is looking for a charity to give the shoes to, instead of sending them to the dump.
Santangelo said that he isn't sure where the shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash, and no one has claimed them yet.

MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS:
ReplyDeleteWhen counting the electoral votes, either Congress finds by 1/8/09 that Obama, not being an Article II “natural born citizen”, fails to qualify as President whereupon Biden becomes the full fledged President under 3 USC 19 (free to pick his own VP such as Hillary) or thereafter defers to the Supreme Court to enjoin Obama’s inauguration with Biden becoming only Acting President under the 20th Amendment until a new President is duly determined.
The preferable choice, at least for the Democrats, should seem obvious.
