CNN reports:

The shoe monument, made of fiberglass and coated with copper, consists of the shoe and a concrete base. The entire monument is 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) high. The shoe is 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide.

The orphans helped al-Amiri build the $5,000 structure — unveiled Tuesday — in 15 days, said Faten Abdulqader al-Naseri, the orphanage director.

Wild looking sculpture.

Since we’ve finally got the blog up and running here, we decided to roll out a new feature called Chester French’s Dirty Dozen. Basically, each week, we will compile a list of 12 things that we were into that week (6 items from DA, 6 items from Max).

We’ll put the list together over the entire week and then publish it on Monday of the following week. Here’s our very first Dirty Dozen evahh:


1) Obama’s second time taking the oath
2) Kanye’s Mullet?
3) All of the executive orders
4) Seeing our new “She Loves Everybody” video
5) “Buyology” by Martin Lindstrom
6) “Judgment at Nuremberg” – One of the best movies I’ve ever seen


1) “Floating on the Lehigh” by Department of Eagles–mainly the loud part
2) Honolulu
3) Chinese New Year
4) The Slider by T. Rex
5) Sarah Palin looking for an $11 million book deal 6)"No More Mosquitoes" by Four Tet

Stored in the basement of the executive mansion is the official White House Record Library: several hundred LPs that include landmark albums in rock (Led Zeppelin IV, the Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed), punk (the Ramones’ Rocket to Russia, the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols), cult classics (Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica, the Flying Burrito Brothers’ The Gilded Palace of Sin) and disco. Not to mention records by Santana, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Isaac Hayes, Elton John, the Cars and Barry Manilow.


Well at least he’s got something to listen to while he, y’know, relaxes.
