'Churchgoing residents of Howth, Co Dublin, were bewildered to see Osama bin Laden listed for two memorial services in their parish newsletter yesterday morning. The Catholic Church in the seaside town had named the terrorist - shot dead by US navy seals in a heavily-fortified compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, last Sunday - among those to whom it planned to devote a Mass. In addition to carrying information about upcoming communions and confirmations, the Church of the Assumption newsletter also contained a brief announcement which read: "Osama Bin Laden (recently deceased)", adding that the man who had topped America's most wanted list for more than a decade was scheduled to have two Masses said in his honour next Thursday at 8am and 10am. The information was also carried, without any further explanation or clarification, on the church's website... 'However, a spokeswoman for the Dublin archdiocese expressed surprise that such a Mass would be scheduled. She subsequently confirmed that it was a hoax. She said someone had telephoned the church last week asking that two services to be dedicated to the infamous al-Qaeda leader's memory. His name had been taken without question by a church official and included on the list for upcoming prayers without the sanction of parish priest Msgr Brendan Houlihan' - The Irish Times.

He yelled 'Hey!' at her, food tumbling from his open mouth... but, of course, she trots straight over. He didn't say a word - he just handed his phone so that she could input her number."

'A US man found wearing women's underwear and standing over a goat's carcass told West Virginia police he was high on bath salts. Mark L Thompson of Alum Creek was arrested at his home on Monday. A criminal complaint in Kanawha County Magistrate Court charges the 19-year-old with cruelty to animals. Sheriff's Deputy JS Shackelford says witnesses reported Mr Thompson standing near a neighbour's pygmy goat in a bedroom. He was wearing a bra and female underwear. The goat had at least one stab wound. Corporal Sean Snuffer says Mr Thompson indicated he had been high and "wasn't in his right mind". Mr Thompson was held on $50,000 bond yesterday at the South Central Regional Jail. Jail records didn't indicate whether he had a lawyer and no listed phone number was available' - News.com.au

MARCUS GEE globe and mail Mayor Rob Ford hesitated before throwing his support behind Conservative Leader Stephen Harper. As leader of a junior level of government, dependent on the provincial and federal levels, he knows the risks of coming out openly for one party over another, even if his conservative sympathies are obvious to all. But as the May 2 vote approached, his former campaign manager, Nick Kouvalis, showed the mayor polling data indicating that Mr. Harper's Conservatives could take up to 70 seats in Ontario, positioning them to win a majority government. Itching to get into the fray, Mr. Ford overcame his doubts and issued an open endorsement of the Harper Tories, Mr. Kouvalis says. "He wanted to get involved, but he had to play it smart. When he was sure Harper was going to win, he came out. He made a gamble and it paid off for him." Did it ever. Mr. Ford now finds himself in a sweet spot, waiting to collect the dividends of his gamble in the form of support from a grateful Conservative majority government. One of the leading lights of that government, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, happens to be a good friend and long-time ally of the Ford family. Mr. Ford stands to gain more allies if, as expected, Mr. Harper appoints some of his new Toronto MPs to cabinet posts. It doesn't hurt that the polls are indicating that voters may elect yet another rock-ribbed, Ford-friendly Conservative, Tim Hudak, to replace Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty in October. What if, by the first snowfall, conservatives were in charge in Ottawa, Queen's Park and city hall? It would be a Ford fantasy come true. When Doug Ford talked to his brother Rob on election night, the excited mayor told him "we'll be doing cartwheels in the street" if Mr. Harper pulls off a majority. Doug Ford laughs at the idea of his extra-large brother pulling such a stunt - "maybe if he knocks off 100 pounds" - but the elation of the Ford family is real. Not only have they notched up another political win, the latest of many in a young but charmed mayoralty, they see all sorts of benefits flowing to the city from its tight relationship with the federal Tories. Though Doug Ford insists that "absolutely no deals were made whatsoever" for the mayor's endorsement, "we have their ear and they have our ear, and that's the starting point right there." He is hoping that, at the very least, the Tories will kick in money from Ottawa's $1.2-billion infrastructure fund to get a start on the mayor's planned $4-billion Sheppard subway. Mr. Kouvalis says that Monday's results should also help put pressure on Mr. McGuinty to help Toronto - for example, by moving faster to shoulder more of the city's welfare costs. As Mr. Kouvalis sees it, "McGuinty's looking at these numbers and he's thinking, 'Oh shit, I've got to do what Ford wants.' " It remains to be seen whether the Tory win will be as good as all that, either for Toronto or for the Fords. Much of downtown Toronto went NDP orange, not Tory blue, and swaths of the suburban northeast and northwest of the city stayed in NDP or Liberal hands. As for the money the Fords seem to expect, they should remember that their pals in Ottawa face a towering budget deficit, with a tight, self-imposed timetable for eliminating it. Funding suburban subways may not be their top priority. "I don't think we're going to see a gravy train of federal cash coming Toronto's way," says Ryerson University scholar Myer Siemiatycki. "More than anything, Mr. Ford needs money and more than anything Mr. Harper needs to save money. Between the mayor of Toronto and the prime minister of Canada, it is the prime minister who calls the shots." Still, it was undoubtedly a good night for Ford Nation and its uncrowned king. No wonder he feels like doing cartwheels.
