Bulldog Plans to Draft Alec Baldwin for NYC Mayoral Race

A New York City bulldog named Skip has announced his intention to draft actor Alec Baldwin into the 2013 NYC mayoral race.  The contest, which has yet to begin in earnest, figures to be wide open as the term-limited current mayor, billionaire Michael Bloomberg, will not be able to run.

Early favorites in the race include City Council speaker Christine Quinn and former Comptroller William Thompson, Jr. who was narrowly defeated by Bloomberg in 2009.  So Baldwin figures to be a longshot.  But that’s not stopping Skip, who plans to launch a web petition to draft the actor.

“Skip thinks Alec would make a great mayor,” said longtime friend and collaborator, Amos Watkins.  "Everyone knows how much Alec loves the city. You saw those New Era commercials with John Krasinski last year during the MLB playoffs, right? That stuff was gold.“

According to the AP, Baldwin has no intention to run for mayor at this time, though he has considered it in the past.

Puppy Learns ‘Bacon Shortage’ Was Just a Hoax

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

With rumors going around the internet that the world’s bacon would soon be in short supply, Sparky was a worried pup. One can imagine his relief, though, once the matter was revealed to be nothing more than a hoax.

“Oh, man, he was so happy,” says Brian Toomer, a source close to the situation. “Talk about a worst-case scenario. I mean, it was unsubstantiated to begin with. But try telling that to a dog.”

Corgis Enjoy Rare Family Portrait Without Photobomb

A family of Pembroke corgis from Hermosa Beach, CA took a family photo on Sunday that went off without a hitch.

“Mostly, we were worried about the neighbor’s cat,” says Jake Sizemore, the photographer hired to capture the moment. “Mittens is a photobombing legend. If he even heard me take the camera out of the bag, you bet he’d be popping into frame moments later. Makes it really hard to take a nice group shot, but we got it.”
