   "A rain-soaked day did what the city couldn't: clean out Zuccotti Park,"   
   the New York Post reports. But "the sprint for safety for the protesters   
   was made easier with the 4,000 free pairs of shoes donated by a   
   sympathetic Long Island retailer":   
      
   	Robert Yeganeh, owner of LoveMyShoes, sent truckloads of   
   	footwear over the past three weeks to give comfort to the   
   	huddled masses in the lower Manhattan park--but the donations   
   	backfired when his customer base lashed out. . . .   
      
   	The delivery can't come quick enough for Luis Daniel, 31,   
   	a protester who was limping around barefoot in the rain.   
   	   
   	"I was asleep and my shoes were stolen. I need a pair, but   
   	the comfort station doesn't have any," said Daniel, who has   
   	been jobless since he was fired from Dunkin' Donuts in 2007.   
      
   Meanwhile, MRCTV.com has video from Occupy Toronto, where a guy   
   complains: "This man was in my tent sniffing my girlfriend's feet." The   
   alleged hoof-huffer, who was also reportedly "trying to get other   
   protesters to drink urine," was arrested by Toronto's finest.   
      
   How does that old adage go? I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a   
   man who had no girlfriend.
