Howie Carr: ‘Turtleboy’ arrest a big career-booster

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:31:46 GMT

Good career move, Turtleboy.In case you missed it, Aiden Kearney, the local blogger better known as Turtleboy, was arrested by the State Police Wednesday.It’s no fun getting lugged, but this is one of those times when every knock is a boost. This pinch will ultimately be a major resume enhancer for Turtleboy, because now he’s got videotape to shop around Hollywood.Kearney, a 41-year-old former school teacher from Holden, was recorded doing the perp walk into a local district court, flanked by flabby, jack-booted troopers.He was handcuffed behind his back — the mark of any Serious Journalist in a future streaming docudrama that is, as they say, Ripped from the Headlines.And it wasn’t shot by some fanboy on a shaky, out-of-focus cell phone — it was on local TV news.That is like money in the bank when you are trying to negotiate a deal with somebody like Netflix — it shows you’re getting the job done, whatever the job is.The charges against Kearney are “witness intimidation.” But as on...

First came the darkening skies, then the crescent-shaped shadows on the ground, and finally an eruption of cheers by crowds that gathered Saturday along the narrow path of a rare “ring of fire” eclipse of the sun.It was a spectacular show for millions of people across the Americas as the moon moved into place and the ring formed.There were hoots, hollers and yelps for those with an unfettered view in Albuquerque, where the celestial event coincided with an international balloon fiesta that typically draws tens of thousands of spectators and hundreds of hot air balloon pilots from around the world.They got a double treat, with balloons lifting off during a mass ascension shortly after dawn and then the eclipse just hours later. Some pilots used their propane burners to shoot flames upward in unison as the spectacle unfolded.“It’s very exciting to be here and have the convergence of our love of flying with something very natural like an eclipse,” said Allan Hahn of Aurora, Colorado, w...
