I know I'm a little blog happy today, but this is just so weird... apparently, the NYT had a piece on Roberts that included pictures. Based on those pictures, conservatives said the NYT was trying to make Roberts look gay (no mention of anything of the sort in the text or in the photo captions, but based on the photos alone... this blog has a nice summary.) I came across this when I read in another Garrison Keillor article that Roberts played Peppermint Patty when he was 16, and googled it, because I wasn't sure if Keillor was kidding... apparently he wasn't.

In other news that I found hard to believe, sexy guys may not appear in alcohol ads in the UK anymore: "Drinks companies have been ordered to hire paunchy, balding men for advertisements to meet new rules forbidding any link between women’s drinking and sex. Watchdogs have issued a list of undesirable male characteristics that advertisers must abide by in order to comply with tougher rules designed to separate alcohol from sexual success."
