The wonders of The Google

So I was scanning the headlines today and I came across an article titled "Married by God or Government?" on news.google.com, sourced to "On Faith".  I clicked through, thinking it was some faith-centered news source and curious to see what their take would be (reasoned support? ravings of fire and brimstone? something in between?).  I was happy to discover that the author was eminently reasonable in her views, but also not surprised, since I found that "On Faith" is really just a blog published by the Washington Post and/or Newsweek—and what else would you expect from the liberal media?

But more importantly, I discovered this: in addition to being an articulate writer, the blog's author, Claire Hoffman, is absolutely red scorching hot.  Filled with intellectual curiosity, I set out to learn more about her, and ended up at clairehoffman.com.  And from the biography there I learned not only that she has a master's degree in religious studies, but the factoid that led me to write this posting:

Before her latest gig, Claire spent two years covering Hollywood and the adult entertainment industry for the Los Angeles Times.

You mean the LA Times has a porn beat? See, I Did Not Know This, and I find it pretty darn amusing; rarely has it been more truthfully said that the jokes write themselves.  Thanks, The Google!

How can you tell she's smokin' hot from that tiny thumbnail pic? But to each his or her own; I just fell in love with Mo Elleithee myself.

I don't think much of the article, though -- it's pretty shallow stuff. But thanks for the link, I'll refer to it when I'm writing my own blog post on the California ruling.

You just have to squint real hard.
