'Non-Binding' Bailout (FROM: The Wall Street Journal) President Bush kicked that can right down the road and, in the process, kicked conservatives right in the teeth. Instead of permitting General Motors, Chrysler and Ford to undergo an orderly bankruptcy, Bush wrote a check for $17 billion after Congress failed to act. Supposedly, the companies have until March to comply with a few terms and conditions, but even those were deemed "non-binding," and you know what that means -- nothing will be dDouble Shot At Love: New Definitions Of "Hooking Up"

Okay, Roo is being a total sourpuss today. Perhaps if she won the Grosgrain Sugar Cookie Frock, she would be sweeter. Well, she would look sweeter, anyway… One of the most amazing things about Grosgrain to me, aside from the sheer loveliness of the clothing, is how Kathleen gets Lily to pose for the pictures.

Jump to Comments When I received a promotional copy of the new Stiletto Moody shoes tonight called Audrey, I could not resist being a total cliche and pairing it with the Hepburn dress from Azul.
