John Edwards child picture
John Edwards will not be happy to see the National Enquirer have just released a photo which they describe as "damning proof" of Edwards' love child.
The photo, which shows a blurry man holding a blurry baby is alleged to have been taken in the Beverly Hilton hotel where the Enquirer found him two weeks ago.
More recently, there was the Enquirer's other allegations about payments to Rielle Hunter.
I have to say, this photo is very low resolution and it's hard to make out with any degree of certainty who the man is let alone the child. I can't help but think they held this photo back from the original story due to it's poor quality, and are only running it now to keep the story ticking over.
Anyway, politicians are always holding babies. That said, I think Edwards' career is crumbling and it's now only a matter of time before the media deliver a killing blow or he voluntarily admits his relationship.

Montauk Monster - Revealed!
Since we first gave our opinions on the Montauk Monster, a lot of more informed people have weighed in and I think we have the answer.
First, the view of Courtney Fruin one of the three women who took the photograph. "We think it’s a mutant from (USDA animal disease research center) Plum Island. It had a beak, and it looked like a reptile in a dog’s body."
A graphics specialist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services says that if it is fake, it's a "really good Photoshop job."
William Wise, director of Stony Brook University's Living Marine Resources Institute knows what it isn't.
Not a raccoon, "The legs appear to be too long in proportion to the body."
Not a sea turtle, "Sea turtles do not have teeth."
Not a rodent, "Rodents have two huge, curved incisor teeth in front of their mouths."
Dr. Larry Barrett, Plum Island Animal Disease Center Director:
"It is impossible to accurately identify the species of animal from the photo. There is no scale from which to judge its size. Additionally, when a body has had prolonged exposure to water and predators, it can be altered or appear different from its normal form. If we had the actual body, we could tell you what it is; however, from viewing a canine tooth in the picture, we could guess it may be a cat or raccoon."
Finally, Noel Arikian, a Montauk local who has the Monster decomposing in the woods behind his home:
"In photos there appeared to be a beak. It was just a tricky angle. It’s a dead raccoon. That’s what it is. It’s undoubtedly a raccoon, the same teeth, paws, the right size."
If you want to know who to trust, trust the man who's got it round the back of his house - he's the only person who's seen it and not the photograph.
It's a raccoon.

Patrick Pogan
Patrick Pogan is the NYPD rookie who body-slammed a Critical Mass bicyclist to the ground at the monthly Times Square rally to highlight our reliance on motor vehicles.
Pogan who has been patrolling the Midtown South Precinct for less than a month went out of his way to hit the bicyclist and shove him into the crowd.
Christopher Long the bicyclist in question was not injured but was arrested and charged with attempted assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. According to the paperwork, Long was disrupting the traffic and then rode right into Pogan.
Well I have a little video of the incident so you can judge for yourself. Personally I think Pogan should consider a career change to the NFL.

Vanity Fair cover
Vanity Fair, in what it describes as an act of solidarity, has published its response to that New Yorker cover of Obama - a satirical picture of John & Cindy McCain.
The picture, published on their website, and which is not going to become a real magazine cover, shows the McCains in the Oval Office, like the New Yorker did with the Obamas. John McCain is using a walker and has a bandage on his head. Cindy - an ex-drug addict - is shown holding armfuls of pill bottles. The constitution burns in the fireplace and a portrait of George W. Bush is over the mantle.
To be honest, this isn't some "I'm Spartacus" act of selflessly sticking together - if they wanted to do that then they would publish it as a cover. Putting it out on their blog is like sticking your tongue out at your teacher when her back is turned. Come on Vanity Fair, no half-measures, publish and be damned!

John Edwards' affair
John Edwards has been caught coming out of the hotel where his alleged mistress and her child were staying at 2:40 in the morning.
The National Enquirer is reporting that John Edwards was caught leaving the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles by their reporters, having spent time in the company of Rielle Hunter and her baby, who they allege is his love child.
When reporters approached John Edwards, he hid in a bathroom for 15 minutes until security rescued him.
The National Enquirer first printed the allegations of John Edward's mistress and child at the end of 2007. At the time Edwards said, "The story is false. It's completely untrue, ridiculous. Anyone who knows me knows that I have been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years."
Rielle Hunter also denies the claims. "The innuendos and lies that have appeared on the Internet and in the National Enquirer concerning John Edwards are not true, completely unfounded and ridiculous."
The rumors about John Edwards' extra-marital liaisons have been
circulating for months, but the print media wouldn't touch it, not with
so little evidence and not during his presidential campaign. But the
campaign is over and the National Enquirer say they caught him
hot-footing it from the hotel. After failing to get the presidential
nomination, John Edwards was hoping to take the Barack Obama's
vice-president slot, but you have to wonder if this mud that has slid
from him before will finally stick?

Michael Savage - Autism
Michael Savage took to his radio show yesterday to defend his recent comments about autism.
"My comments about autism were meant to boldly awaken parents and children to the medical community's attempt to label too many children or adults as 'autistic,'. Many children are being victimized by being diagnosed with an 'illness,' which may not exist in all cases."
"There is no definitive medical diagnosis for autism, none. It's all subjective. There is no autism epidemic. Autism in its true form is a tragedy for the child and his parents. Let the truly autistic be treated. Let the falsely diagnosed be free."
His statements are intended to clarify his comments from last week when he said autistic children were "brats" who hadn't been told "to cut the act out."

Savage and Autism
Michael Savage continues to stir controversy with his comments on autism. Last week on his radio show, The Savage Nation, Michael Savage gave his own definition of Autism:
"You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is."
He also described it as the "illness du jour" and said "They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron.'".
You can hear him on YouTube here
Newsday are reporting that members of the National Autism Group, "will also protest today in front of the Manhattan studios of WOR710, which airs "The Savage Nation," calling for a national boycott of Savage's radio show, which originates in San Francisco."
Steve Young in the Huffington post says, "rarely does anything said on talk radio ever cause me to lose my sense of humor. Until this past Wednesday."
He continues, "There's so much I wanted to say, not only to pound some actual knowledge into whatever Savage uses for a brain, but also to defend those families who have been besieged by the heartbreak and hardship of living with someone, especially their children, with Autism."
He then publishes a thoughtful and poignant open letter to Michael Savage from his son, who has an autistic daughter.
EmaxHealth points out that firing him won't deny him a platform. "If Savage is pulled from this station today, he'll be on two new stations tomorrow. No, this is yet another lesson that we learned in kindergarten that still applies today. If everyone just ignored Michael Savage, he would eventually go away. Or better yet - have a good chuckle at his expense."
MarketWatch are quoting Jim Ward, founder and president of ADA Watch and the National Coalition for Disability Rights (NCDR) saying, "people with disabilities, parents, family members, friends and advocates across the nation are outraged over Savage's latest attack on people with disabilities. His despicable assault on children with autism -- calling them "frauds" and "brats" -- is rightly being condemned as hateful and bigoted."
MarketWatch also point out some of Michael Savage's previous controversial comments, including:
The "handicapped" workers at the Phoenix Cafe would "drool" and put dung in diners food. (2002)
When he was younger, he "touched the hand of a midget [Dwarf]," it really "freaked him out". (2004)
High levels of asthma impacting minority children was because "the children got extra welfare if they were disabled.

Modern Furniture
Yes, we're still working on this new (to us) house but as I've said before we've got at least half of it sorted out, habitable and finished. We now need to work on the furniture for it.
There's two things we need to decide here. Firstly, should we shop online or in bricks and mortar stores? I'm going with online: while it is indeed nice to be able to see the quality of a piece close and upfront, there's no store large enough in the world to carry all of the different available ranges. Whereas of course an online store can indeed carry everything.
The second is whether we should use modern furniture? It might seem a little odd to use modern furniture in an old and restored house but there are advantage. For example, where we are the old style furniture is terribly heacy, gloomy even. All dark woods and so on, which in a bright climate like we have doesn't really make sense. So modern furniture it will be then.
There's another advantage of contemporary furniture too: no longer are designers constrained by the old methods of doing things, by the old technologies. That means that the designs can be a great deal more interesting.
So, ore online shopping for modern furniture I think.
