Most people don't notice bylines on a newspaper article, but as a (recovering) journalist, I tend to pay attention. This article and byline from today's Washington Post Health section made me spew my coffee:

Getting to The Heart Of ED Sexual Problems in Men Are Often Tied To Vascular Disease By Ben Harder Special to The Washington Post Tuesday, March 13, 2007; Page HE01

But then I got to thinking. The ... er, thrust ... of the article is that cardiovascular disease is linked to sexual dysfunction in men. And we all know that red wine contributes to cardiovascular health. So ... by the transitive property of equality (if I remember high school math correctly) ... If A = B, and B = C, then ... RED WINE = VIAGRA! Q.E.D.
