What Is Going On?
You might remember about a year ago when I blogged about a schoolteacher who used to be a porn actress and got fired. She was all born-again and everything, and wanted her job back. Whatever, it was kind of an interesting twist, you could call it a Reverse Clinton. Somebody screwed up, and the radical religious right wanted to forgive her, they thought she should get her job back.
Anyway, that was a year ago.
I noticed yesterday we got a comment on that post. Somebody wrote something as if I had just posted the thing. Well, that does happen sometimes, somebody will come across an old post in Google or somewhere and read it, not realizing it's been there a long time. It's easy to forget, we put this stuff online every day, but it's available forever, at least forever in dog-years, or surfer-years, or ...
Also, sometimes the spam-bots will find a particular post and start peppering it with their nonsense. Sometimes I turn off the comments to that post, sometimes I just delete all the spam. I actually think the new Blogger must have something in it that blocks spam, it has been much better lately.
Anyway, today we just got another comment on that same post. Weird, huh?
So I went into our web-tracker log, that records all the hits we get at this site. And man, this is strange: probably three quarters of the recent visitors to our blog arrived here from some kind of search for this story. Here are some of the search strings that brought people here:
That's just the first few ... really, more than half of our hits today come from people looking for this nasty schoolteacher.
And they're coming from all over the country -- all are American, as far as I can tell, but they're from all over.
I checked Google News and there's nothing recent about her. Regular Google doesn't show me anything recent, either.
Does anybody know what's going on here?

"Nasty schoolteacher" Jim? I don't see anything nasty about doing something that doesn't hurt others.
Randi, "nasty" has a certain colloquial connotation that is, I think, appropriate here. I'm not judging her one way or the other for being in porn movies. In US vernacular, we would call them "nasty" movies -- it doesn't mean we wouldn't watch them!

I see, you mean the good kind of nasty.
The word doesn't imply one way or the other. Typically we would call these "dirty movies," and that does imply that they're, uh, dirty. I think the word nasty implies less of a judgment, it refers to the fact that people do not approve of something without saying that the speaker disapproves of it.
There's a kind of subtlety there that I love, but that can't be explained very well. "Nasty" and "naughty" in the US mean something that may be "deliciously wicked." Some people avoid nasty things, some don't, but they both mean the same thing by the word.

Google Trends shows a definite spike on her name, the only one since the news broke; but I'm not sure what's happened to make so many people search for her again. The Wiki is no help. Curiouser and curiouser!
