New Yorkers make citizen’s arrest foiling iPhone thief

See, New Yorkers don’t mind stepping in when they see something wrong is happening.

Apparently this guy stole a woman’s iPhone and took off running. But he didn’t expect these two New Yorkers to jump into the chase. Not only did they catch him, but they held him for the police.

No “not my problem” attitude here.

Go New York!

Jaymes Vaughan of the Chippendales tweeted this cellphone pic today while the guys were in the middle of their annual Chippendales calendar shoot.  The Chippendales calendar was one of the very first “hunky guy” calendars that took off in the early 80s, and to this day one of the biggest selling calendars on the market.

Those are some SERIOUS abs, kids.  Don’t try this at home – these guys are professionals.

Ouch.

Three swing states show President Obama leading

A new poll by the New York Times found that Mr. Obama holds an advantage of 6 percentage points over Mr. Romney in Florida and Ohio. The president is stronger in Pennsylvania, leading by 11 percentage points. The margin of sampling of error is plus or minus three percentage points in each state. 
The New York Times, in collaboration with Quinnipiac and CBS News, is tracking the presidential contest in six states through polls over the next three months. In addition to Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, which have a combined 67 electoral votes, surveys will be taken in Colorado, Wisconsin and Virginia, which have 32 electoral votes. 
Four years ago, Mr. Obama won all six states. Mr. Romney is campaigning in each state, with his strategists seeing the efforts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as the most ambitious. Those two states, which have voted for the Democratic presidential candidate over the last two decades, are considered firewalls, and an erosion of support would signal trouble for the president. 
Still, more than half of voters in each state also say the administration’s actions are either slowly improving the economy or will, if given more time.

Amtrak features gay familes in new ads

Amtrak is joining the many businesses

Amtrak is marketing to gay families with two stunning new ads, MetroWeekly reports:

As part of an effort to market its standard discounted family travel program, for the first time, the national passenger rail company included gay families in its materials. In an online ad sent by Instinct magazine to its email subscribers, a photo of same-sex parents with their child is featured.

Two versions of the ad, one with a picture of a male couple and another with a female couple, were distributed. Both versions include the headline: Priceless Family Moments Are Now Affordable. The ad goes on to promote Amtrak’s 50% off campaign for children age 2 to 15 who are traveling with an adult, and directs readers to its gay travel website www.AmtrakRideWithPride.com.

Congressman Steve King advocates dogfighting – SRSLY?

Just when you thought GOP congressman Steve King couldn’t get more out of step with the mainstream of American political thought, he spouts THIS hideous position on the topic of animal rights:

From ThinkProgress: During a tele-townhall late last week, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) fielded a question about his opposition to animal rights and recently introduced legislation that would undermine local standards preventing animal torture. “It’s wrong to rate animals above human beings,” he told the questioner. To make his point, King argued that “there’s something wrong” for society to make it a “federal crime to watch animals fight” but “it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting.”

KING: When the legislation that passed in the farm bill that says that it’s a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch an animal fight but it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there’s something wrong with the priorities of people that think like that.

Of course, there is a very good reason we ban dogfighting and other similar forms of cruelty: animals don’t have a choice in the matter. Boxer Manny Pacquiao chooses to step into the ring. Michael Vick’s dogs did not. Similarly, when a human boxer loses a fight, he is not ritually executed after the fight. The same is not always true in dogfighting.

Unfortunately, King is a longtime advocate for legalizing dogfighting, cockfighting, and other forms of animal torture. Most recently, he fought legislation that would make it illegal to bring a child to an animal fight. He has also set aside his love for states’ rights in order to forbid localities from enacting anti-animal torture standards.
