House Approves Planned Parenthood Defunding

_House Approves Planned Parenthood Defunding
Early this morning the House of Representatives approved $60 billion in cuts in federal spending, including blocking all federal Title X funding for Planned Parenthood. And that's causing a bit of an uproar. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said, “The time has come to respect the wishes of the majority of Americans who adamantly oppose using taxpayer dollars for abortions.” However, by law no Title X funds can be used for abortion. Instead, it would make things like free HIV testing, breast and cervical cancer screening, family planning and prenatal care out of reach for many Americans. [MORE]

City Council Seems Excited About "Koch Bridge"

The "Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge" may be one step closer to reality, as the Daily News reports that a City Council hearing on the renaming "nearly doubled as a pep rally." However, it seems that Queens pols are divided on the issue: Peter Vallone Jr. has been outspoken against the renaming, saying that the city would never dream of renaming the Brooklyn Bridge. But former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman said "Mayor Koch is bold, tough, effective, charming and he stands firm, each and every day. The same can be said for our bridge."... [ MORE ]

But given the option, could you kill your own meal? Some New York Yelpers have and lived to tell the tale.... [ MORE ]

Photos: Model Experiences Industrial Hog Farm Life

(Warning: These photographs are NSFW, for the most part.) Photographer Miru Kim has unveiled a new photo series, and earlier this week explained to us, "I toured industrial hog farms and it was quite intense." She even provided video of the experience which you can watch below... it is, to use Kim's word, intense, and much less tranquil than the photographs (though not quite Hannibal).... [ MORE ]

Happy Friday!: Radiohead Releases New Album Early

[UPDATED BELOW] It's been about three and a half years since Radiohead released their last album, In Rainbows, which is why they announced their new one via an unexpected email to their fans earlier this week, simply stating: Thank You For Waiting. The album, The King of Limbs, was given a release date of tomorrow, but the band delivered a day ahead of schedule—you can now download the whole thing here (revisit our interview with Jonny Greenwood while you wait). There's nothing quite like waking up to a 60-something-degree day in February and watching this man dance:... [ MORE ]

Bloomberg to DC: Tear Down That Immigration Wall for Models!

Over two years ago, Representative Anthony Weiner tried to change the nation's immigration laws to help fashion models who can't get the necessary work visas to come to America (and NYC in particular). The tabloids had a good laugh, because Weiner wants models ha ha, and the legislation went nowhere. But today on his radio show, Mayor Bloomberg hopped on the model bandwagon, urging Washington to change the immigration laws to enable thousands of professional good looking people to flood our borders. And so, in response to Hizzoner's sudden interest in the plight of international models, Weiner got a little catty on the Twitter. ... [ MORE ]
