Irony Alert: Liberal Hollywood and Big Oil Do Mix

I couldn't help chuckling when I read the recent post on Radar.com that writer/director Stephen Gaghan, who made 2005's recondite indictment of the oil industry Syriana, recently married Minnie Mortimer, the great-grand daughter of Standard Oil president Henry Morgan Tilford. The two go together like Prius-driving actors who still fly private (something that Leonardo DiCaprio, whose environmental disaster documentary The 11th Hour is currently playing Cannes, has recently sworn off).
