Again Alessandra Stanley forces me to write about the breasts of a famous woman. First Ms. Stanley reported that Janet Jackson's now-notorious breast appeared to be of natural origin, an observation I felt compelled to question. Now Ms. Stanley says that at last night's Academy Awards, "Angelina Jolie was as demure as an anchorwoman in a white satin gown as she presented the award for art direction." I saw only moments of the Oscars, flipping through as it became sadly apparent that FSU would not upset Duke, but two things I and others saw were Angelina Jolie's nipples. Why the coverup, so to speak, for New York Times readers? UPDATE: "Demure as an anchorwoman?" You be the judge: Angelina Jolie at the 76th Annual Academy Awards ©2004 Digital Hit Entertainment.

My grandfather Cone was not an oil-well-drilling drifter, but when Jerry Jeff Walker sings about an old man and a boy it makes me think of him, anyway. 8:54:48 AM    comment []
