Someone finally figures out how to keep Michael Moore from doing a hatchet job on him...

The themes and preoccupations of "Million Dollar Baby"-and some of his other art-house projects (unifying theme: "Oh, Let's Stoically Grimace Over How Awful the World Is! So Much More Manly Than Wringing Our Hands About It!")-haven't made me terribly favorably disposed to Clint Eastwood at the moment. However this story, about him snarking at Michael Moore, made my day:

It may be an oblique allusion to Charlton Heston and the South Park creators-all three being libertarian hunters/gun collectors who made the mistake of being hospitable when Moore showed up with a camera, and were rewarded for their courtesy by being pilloried and quoted out of context in "Bowling for Columbine". In any case, it's certainly a clever way of insuring that Moore doesn't bother him!

Disclaimer: I'm reasonably sure, given his age and all his brooding and hand-wringing about violence in the world and in the movies, that Clint doesn't actually mean it. Reasonably.

Laura Bush and the Twins Inaugural Attire

You many have already seen these and I am sorry if you have, but I thought I would pass these along. Since we are all girls, mostly, and since girls like getting all pretty and dressed up I figured I would share a link to the First Lady and the twin's dresses. These are really pretty looking and I want to see lots of pictures of them all 'dolled' up!

Laura & the Twins Dress Designs

I think I like the dress Laura has for the Inaugural Candlelight Dinners over her other two Inaugural dresses. And I think Barbara's dress is nicer looking that Jenna's, but I can relate to Barbara's style more than Jenna's anyway. Jenna is just a bit to wild and crazy for me, hehe. All three of these girls are going to look fabulous!!
