Moulin Rouge isn't just a retro wallow. It's a head-on collision of the romantic and the grotesque, the songs of MGM and MTV. Dwarves in spangled costumes dance to Rhythm of the Night; a sultry chorus line coos, "Moulin Rouge-ez avec moi ce soir?" and performs a tantric cancan. Like The Producers, this is a backstage musical with a delirious production number. Here it's an all-out, far-out tribute to India's Bollywood musicals--a kind of Springtime for Hindu--with enough eye candy to give the viewer diabetes...

Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi has called homosexuality a scourge, while Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni last year ordered the arrest of a gay couple for "abominable acts." Perhaps the best known gay-hater is Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who has in the past described gays as "beasts," "perverts" and "lower than dogs and pigs...
...just people on the right like Katherine Harris and Ted Nugent who seem especially silly being likened to Parks. I first cringed at this "Rosa Parks c'est moi" phenomenon last October at Ralph Nader's lefty rally at Madison Square Garden. Ever sit in a coliseum full of people who think they're heroes? I was surrounded by thousands of well-meaning, well-fed white kids who loved it when filmmaker Michael Moore told them they should, like Rosa Parks, stand up to power, by which I think he meant vote for Nader so he could qualify for federal...
