Aaaah! Sure, 'tis grate!

Thanks to Californication-vacationing Hilary for the above photo!

Have they no shame?

'The Reverend Dr. Bill Lawson compared Lay with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ, and said his name would eventually be cleared.

"He was taken out of the world right at the right time," he said. "History has a way of vindicating people who have been wronged."

Lawson likened Lay to James Byrd, a black man who was dragged to death in a racially motivated murder near Jasper, Texas, eight years ago.

"Ken Lay was neither black nor poor, as James Byrd was, but I'm angry because Ken was the victim of a lynching," said Lawson, who predicted that history will vindicate Lay.'

Cool Hilary, creepy mirror

On Monday I finally met Hilary, instigator of my Irishman superhero persona (see below), and we wandered and blathered around the lower Upper East Side, walking past the scene of Dr. Nicholas Bartha's creative solution to his marital difficulties and then past the creepy mirrored doorway of another Upper East Side doctor's surgery, where we took this photo.
