Vanity Fair

So, on my way through the check-out this morning at Kroger I picked up a Vanity Fair mag.

"But," you say, "that's a seemingly left leaning magazine!!"

So what? I'm not going to let politics stand in the way of entertainment, and I like reading that magazine. It makes me feel like I'm learning something.

I was attracted by Angelina Jolie on the cover. She is hot, admit it, and while the whole Brad Pitt thing interests me NOT, I'm curious about Jolie. But, if pinned down, I'd have to say I'm a Jennifer Aniston fan.

AND!! Get this: "Frank Sinatra's Mob Ties..." I'm a Sinatra fan, and very interested in all things Mafia. I don't know why, I'm not even Italian, and I can't explain my interest.

My custom is to page through a mag first, then go back later, when I can settle in, to read the articles. Here's one that caught my eye:

"No Jokes, Please, We're Liberal" - "How come right-wing pundits are funny, while their left-wing counterparts are stuck in plodding solemnity? An exploration of the humor gap between the conservative and liberal media leads the author from the Ivy League ambitions of Slate straight to the stuffed-shirt empire of The New York Times."

Hmmm...intresting, and I plan to read that article. We right wingers are funny? That's news to me. Seriously.

For any of you who see this particular issue, NO I was NOT attracted by the small print "...Tony Curtis Nude!"

I saw it. That's all I'll say. You go look and draw your own conclusions.
