Along with the persistent taste for Uggs and pajama bottoms as streetwear, year-round flip flops seem to be a local college fashion trope. The dead-drunk BU student who let herself into our house via an accidentally-left-unlocked back door, broke a lamp, and passed out on our couch during a spring-break escapade three years ago left one of her flip-flops in the shallow snow in the back yard.

(And, yes, we're well aware that there could have been far worse consequences to leaving the back door unlocked in that neighborhood - you can bet we triple-check it nowadays after every use.)

But what about Crocs?

Then what the hell are the politicians going to do until November 4th?
