re: "George Clooney Takes a Meeting at the White House"
TSB at The Skeptical Bureaucrat ("Giving my fellow Americans the view from my cubicle") is talent-spotting for the Department.
Money quote(s):
"I don't yet know how this summit was perceived in the diplomatic community. Bono is traveling in Africa and is unavailable for comment, and Angelina Jolie's spokeswoman did not return my calls.
I must say that George Clooney sure does look exactly like an Ambassador should, and looking the part is half-way there in this mass media age. He projects sincerity well, and has just enough grey at the temples to appear distinguished. And he's obviously mastered the patter: "this is high on their agenda" ... "there was some concern this could fall off the radar" ... "one of a small handful of foreign policy reviews being undertaken at the senior most level" ... "it’s not about government money, not about government troops." Why doesn't he just go for it and ask Obama for an appointment?"

Snippet(s):
"Fostering open relationships is what social worker Maxine Chalker had in mind when she founded the agency in 1985.
Chalker, an adoptee, had successfully searched for her birth mother.
The agency handled 343 domestic and international adoptions last year, including Angelina Jolie's adoption of son Pax from Vietnam."
