The president’s distant cousin, 26-year-old Henry Healy, a tall, thin bookkeeper for a plumbing business, happily wanders the streets of this Obama Potemkin village talking to Fox News and all other comers. He and the local canon, Stephen Neill, sprinkled with Obama fairy dust, have just been given jobs as TV pitchmen for Irish tourism.

The island’s most active volcano, Grimsvotn, located at the heart of its biggest glacier Vatnajoekull, started to spew smoke and lava late on Saturday.

Within several hours, the plume of smoke had rose to an altitude of at least 10.5 miles (17km) – almost double the height of the nearby Eyjafjoell eruption just over a year ago which peaked at around 5.6 miles (9km).

Now one of those celebs is suing Twitter for letting the user violate the super injunction. The Guardian reports on the lawsuit, but still can’t include the name of the celeb, thanks to that super injunction, though it can name the woman with whom he is accused of having an affair, model Imogen Thomas. (She apparently doesn’t have a super injunction.) Though he-who-cannot-be-named filed the suit as “CTB,” the American press, which is not subject to the power of the super injunction, have pointed the finger at footballer (or soccer player to folks on this side of the pond), Ryan Giggs who plays for Manchester United.
