Obama coulda gone to Ramstein sans media and photo op, John Edwards really was in the hotel-- in the room with the woman reported to have given birth to his child-- and I still don't have a caretaker for my Mom.
And while all this has been going on a contractor in Brooklyn was locked up in a psych ward for four days after he smashed into walls in three apartments trying to rescue a cat.
Auyup! You read that right. He is reported to have told the mental health police as they carted him away.
I'm not crazy, doctor. There really is a cat in my wall.
But guess what? There really, really was.
According to the NY Post, that collector of all things bizarre in the greater New York environs, it all started with a mischievous kitty named Rumi who put his head a hole in the wall of a condo undergoing renovation in Carroll Gardens.
Poor Rumi, the hole opened on a 30-foot shaft and he fell to the bottom.
The contractor, Chris Muth, had been watching Rumi for a friend and panicked when he went missing.
He couldn't reach the cat from the first apartment - even after enlarging the hole.
So the super, Doug Steiner, gave Muth permission to make a small hole in the wall of another unit.
But, Steiner said:
He opened up all the walls. I said, 'What the hell are you doing? The owner's going to flip out.'
Muth cared only for catching Rumi. Unable to catch him from that second hole, he broke into a third apartment, and again started smashing into the walls.
According to the Post:
Steiner had as much success coaxing Muth out as Muth did with Rumi.
So the super called the cops - who shipped Muth to a local psych ward.
Rumi remained in the catacombs of the condo - a former church.
Again, according to the Post in typical NY Post style:
And the shrinks decided Muth was suffering from bats in his belfry.
They are not kidding. The hospital report on Muth declared:
He had a bizarre delusion [he] was trying to save a cat of his friend
But it all ended happily.
Muth finally convinced the doctors that he wasn't a wacko.
And Rumi, tired of his 15 days in solitary, let himself be caught by professional cat rescuers using a fishing-pole-like, professional cat-catching device. Muth told the Post:
After 60 hours stuck down there, I thought the cat was going to die. Otherwise I wouldn't have panicked like I did.I can fix holes, but I can't bring a cat back to life.
I wish this guy was running for office somewhere. He'd get my vote!

According to a friend of mine, Chris Muth does not live in the building. He never called animal rescue until the cat was a good week in the hole in the apartment he was renovating. Chris threatened the super, went berserk and should've stayed in the psycho ward. Why he refuses to take medication is sad, he is not just a good bullshit artist, but apparently believes his lies and seriously needs some sort of psychiatric help.
This must be a rather slow news week.
