I am a "typical human being", I think about intention, action and outcome.
If one is a sure thing for a position is one a shoe-in or a shew-in? ?
There was an AP story about a nefarious Florida congressman who was expected to be re-elected but owing to an indiscretion, he was no longer a "shoe-in" (sic.)
It is a rather archaic usage and is not well documented in modern text.
What say you then?

It seems that historically dislocations in economic culture spark either collapse and decline or expansion and renewal. I see, from a historical perspective, that we are at such a crossroad.
Will this be the beginning of the end for petroleum?
Will this be the beginning of decline for the US?

6 AnswersZoology1 decade agoShould a Florida teacher have been fired for wizardry?
LAND 'O LAKES, Fla. -- A substitute teacher in Pasco County has lost his job after being accused of wizardry.
Teacher Jim Piculas does a magic trick where a toothpick disappears and then reappears.
Piculas recently did the 30-second trick in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes.
Piculas said he then got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he'd been accused of wizardry.
"I get a call the middle of the day from head of supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue, you can't take any more assignments you need to come in right away,'" he said.
Piculas said he did not know f any other accusations that would have led to the action.
The teacher said he is concerned that the incident may prevent him from getting future jobs.
