Valleywag
Arianna Huffington, never one to turn down a media opportunity or miss a fad, enters Linden Lab's much-hyped Second Life to give an interview to Reuters. The Huffington Post founder — who turned Democrat activist after her husband, a California Republican, lost an election and went gay — hopes virtual worlds will save marriages. "A lot of people who want to explore different possibilities, they can now do it in Second Life — instead of, say, leaving their wife, fulfilling some other fantasy." After the jump, a clip, Arianna explaining why she covered — mistake! — the midriff of her pixelated alter ego.

Well, I know of no better way to save a marriage than to retreat into a virtual fantasy world and substitute interactions with real people for electrons. You go, girl!
In 1994, then US House Rep. Michael Huffington was the Republican Senate nominee facing Dianne Feinstein. He has never, as far as I know, run a gubernatorial race in California. Also he _say's _ that he is bisexual.
Isn't Brentwood, where Ms Huffington lives, nearly a virtual world anway?
Now they can all use Google's new virtual world instead!
