Joseph F. Limone, 60, of Winthrop, was stopped for his eighth drunk driving arrest Tuesday in Revere. He pleaded not guilty on Wednesday at Chelsea District Court, but was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing. As Limone hasn't had a valid driver's license since 1985, he is also charged with operating on a revoked license and giving a fake name to police. He has drunk driving in 1983, 1984, 1987, 1996, 2001, and 2007. Limone was allegedly tailgating another car and yelling at the driver. [Globe]

We almost forgot about Animal Wednesday today, but not to worry--we remembered. Browsing through the Bostonist group on Flickr, this picture of a dog called Antek jumped out at us. At first we thought it was just because of the adorableness. But actually it's well composed (very clean, nice pyramid shape) and the depth of field is perfect: We see the dog's face nice and crisp, while the coat and grass in background soften. Excellent shot!
Happy Animal Wednesday, everyone. We hope you enjoy the boldness and simplicity of this composition as much as we do. (Also a good reminder to break away from pyramid compositions now and then.)
We've been thinking about instituting a loose animal theme to our Wednesday photos... so why wait? Today's photo, though simply composed, captures the feeling of yesterday's snow storm—its stillness and maybe even some of the impatience we're all starting to feel for spring weather (note the brightly patterned kerchief around the dog's neck and that pensive stare).

Certain things seem obvious, so obvious that it goes unsaid that they shouldn't be done. At least one Rhode Island man failed to read the memo that explained it's a dumb friggin' idea to perform surgery on your own dog to treat a cyst. The gang at the Rhode Show - think Fox & Friends in a trailer park instead of a modern TV studio - seemed more worried about the financial ramifications of playing Operation on Fido than the idea of an untrained person treating a sick animal. The owner/surgeon said he couldn't afford a veterinarian for the patient/victim, a 14-year old lab named Nakita. The owner pleaded no contest to animal cruelty charges last week.
After the recent underage sandwich party bust, you wouldn't expect a pre-teen to try getting into a cougar bar. Oh, how absurd to imagine a kid being rescued after leaving his dog leashed up outside of Drink or Cuffs! The real story—far more tragic—concerns a boy in the Boston Bar town of British Columbia, who was saved from an actual puma attack by his Lassie-like dog. The tale appeared on several morning news programs yesterday, but the headline from the Vancouver Sun provides a new perspective. Perhaps this Canadian town could solve its cougar trouble with apple martini traps?
--O'Ryan Johnson, a Boston Herald crime reporter, faces up to 10 years in prison for allegedly kicking a man in the chest. Johnson asked for help at a laundromat in Groveland and the 74-year old man who responded got yelled at then kicked. Johnson was reportedly with a young girl. [Lawrence Eagle Tribune]
In case you missed the news reports (WCVB, Globe) or online discussions (Lemmingtrail, Yelp), a video has appeared on YouTube that's especially disturbing to animal lovers.
Dane Cook’s comedy isn’t the only thing that stinks. According to the tenants of his apartment complex, the comedian turned wannabe actor turned wannabe singer/songwriter who was recently voted the worst comedian of all time, doesn’t pick up after his dog. The alleged crapping canine's owner spent yesterday in a Beverly Hills court dealing with charges from his West Hollywood residence and could be evicted for being a party pooper. Page Six is reporting that his neighbors hate him (well, duh?) and he’s been notified three times about cleaning up after his dog, Beast. During the first day of the trial, the court watched video of Dane’s dog taking care of business. California's tax dollars hard at work.
"I hope we have this problem every year," said Theo Epstein when asked about the final-out ball from the 2007 World Series. You may remember the fiasco and hurt feelings involved when the Sox and Doug Mientkiewicz embarked on their power play over the ownership of the 2004 ball.
