Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, responding to a brutal new super PAC ad (the one showing a man who blames Bain Capital for his uninsured wife’s death), broke new ground for the campaign by praising Romney’s health insurance mandate. Saul brought up her candidate's greatest legislative achievement--an almost explicit endorsement of the Affordable Care Act.
This is looking to be one of the most colossal Romney eff-ups yet in a campaign now increasingly littered with them. No one on the left has a problem with this, but "the base," or, Ex-Governor Romney's core supporters, are outraged. And this is on top of several other howlers this week. Governor, all we can say is "keep on keepin' on."
By Jack Brummet, Paranormal & Unexplained Phenomena Editor The All Over Albany website has has alerted the Internet to a job opening on Craigslist — for a primate-lover with an open mind and a (preferably) four-wheel-drive vehicle. And, BT Dubs, s/he will tracking down Sasquatches (a/k/a Bigfoot, Yeti, Abominable Snowman).
The Craigslist post, seeks a research assistant: "Not for profit organization, located in Whitehall, NY is a high-energy, team-oriented research entity that is involved in the tracking, documenting, and study of cryptozoological creatures, with a deep interest in the study and search of bipedal primitive apes. We seek an experienced researcher with a deep understanding of cryptozoology, primatology, with a good background with scientific research and interest in great apes."
Some of the researcher's duties are to "investigate, document and interview individuals with reported Bigfoot sitings [sic]. The right person for the job must be ready for "occasional travel to remote areas of Adirondacks including spending several nights in the wilderness, checking motion cameras, collecting hair and dung samples for laboratory analysis amongst other related activities."
MSNBC recently noted that "though there is no objective scientific evidence supporting the idea that Bigfoot is real, more than a quarter of Americans believe that the woodland ape either definitely or probably exists."

Jorge Borges grave got an unscheduled watering recently. A book cover depicting Chilean writer Eduardo Labarca "apparently urinating" on the author's grave provoked outrage in Argentina.
This is an instrumental Hawaiianguitar version of Alberto Pestalozza’s 1898 “Ciribiribin." by the Louise and Ferera Hawaiian troupe. Click here to download Ciribiribin. Frank Ferera was the first great star of Hawaiian music, and he and his future wife became the first musicians from the remote province of Seattle to achieve fame. Ferera first visited the United States as part of the Keoki E Awai troupe, and he became famous with the troupe by performing to an estimated 17 million people in a seven-month period at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. He married Helen Louise Greenus, the daughter of Seattle businessman, and they toured the U.S. as the Louise and Ferera Hawaiian troupe. In 1915, they were signed by Columbia Records. “Ciribiribin” was the last song they recorded together.
On December 12, 1919, Helen Louise mysteriously disappeared while the couple were on board the steamship SS President, from Los Angeles back to their home in Seattle. She had apparently gone on deck for a walk at 4 a.m. and never returned. I thought that only happened in noir movies. . .

I remember hearing this story in the days after 9/11. Everyone talked about it for a while, and then the news reports quits calling it hearsay and started reporting it as fiction. And then it fell out of the news; everyone assumed it was an urban legend, or a hoax.
There is a documentary out now, featuring Buzzelli, his family, first responders and others. And apparently, it actually did happen. He has come forward to tell his story in a Discovery channel special, “The 9/11 Surfer."
He and his wife, Louise, have written an e-book, “The True Story of the 9/11 Surfer: We All Fall Down.’’
“It was verydifficult telling the story then,’’ Buzzelli told Savannah Guthrie on The Today Show. “I couldn’t. I was going through post-traumatic stress and survivor guilt from that. It took a long time to heal from that. I forced myself to do that, to try to give something back. Eventually I came to accept what had happened to me. I was able to go on and mourn. I feel now that it’s an important story to share with others.’’

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt,and self-described free speech activist, is offering $1 million for anyone who will provide him with Mitt Romney's financial records. In the past he has offered $1 million for various celebrities to pose naked, for evidence refuting the Warren Commission report, for evidence that Presidential candidate Rick Perry was guilty of infidelity, and during the Clinton impeachment trial, for evidence any of the committee members had been guilty of similar transgressions.
Flynt, 69, purchased full-page ads in Sunday's Washington Post and the Tuesday, September 11, issue of USA Today. "What is he hiding?" the ad text reads. "Maybe, now, we'll find out." The ad also includes a phone number and email address where anyone with information can contact Flynt (at http://larryflynt.com/).
