"Bedgate: Rice on floor, Straw in bed."

Headline of the day.

MORE: Am I the only person who read that headline and thought "Tie on-a the bed, throw the rope out the window"?

I read the headline and pictured grains of rice on the floor, and straw and hay in a bed. I couldn't figure out how this could be news.

She sounds like a good host!

What, no feminist outrage on this?

The obvious study in contrast... the graciousness of Rice, the peevishness of McKinney. Beauty and the Be...err, uh, never mind.......

Another bit of non-news? But amusing nonetheless.

Refreshing to see something other than demonization of Bush staff from the press.

This is one of the more charming stories I've read in a long, long time.

I vote for no feminist backlash: what we have here is a (perhaps quaint, in these days) traditional sense of hostly manners--AND why etiquette can actually PROMOTE egalitarianism.

As my grandmother would have said: Her mama raised her right.

Yep, I was being ironic! But thanks for the lengthy reply anyway.
