The race for the next mayor of New York City may be a historic one.

Not only for humans, but for horses, too!

Horse drawn carriages in New York City have become a big issue these days.

Animal activists say it is severe animal cruelty to have horses drawing carriages around cars in the city. Plus they say the horses are treated very poorly!

But others say that to remove carriage horses from the city will put 300 people out of a job!

One of the supporters of carriage horses is Christine C. Quinn - a top candiate to replace Michael Bloomberg as mayor of the Big Apple.

But one of her main opponents is not a supporter.

We are SO GLAD they caught someone so quickly!

In the Mississippi Delta, a mayoral candidate for Clarksdale named Marco McMillian was brutally murdered. He also happened to be openly gay. The Sheriff's department has just announced that Lawrence Reed, 22, was just charged in the death of Marco.

It all started on Tuesday when someone crashed Marco's SUV into another car on Highway 49, but Marco wasn't in the car. In fact, Marco was already dead, and his body was found near the Mississippi River levee on Wednesday morning — but the cause of death has not been made public.

Like we said, Marco was the first openly gay man to be a viable candidate for public office in Mississippi. He had the credentials and the backings to actually pull it off too.

We can't help but wonder if

We already knew that the mayor of Newark was the people's champion.

But it turns out that he's the canine champion, too!

Cory Booker was alerted by a news reporter that someone had left their dog outside in absolutely freezing weather.

Booker personally went down to where the dog was at, and held him for warmth until he was able to contact the owner.

He did and it was a good thing too! The owner had no idea his dog was outside!

San Diego may still be in danger of losing Comic-Con eventually, but California nerds can rest easy for the time being!

Mayor Jerry Sanders has announced that the pop culture extravaganza has extended its commitment to the city one more year.

Originally, the contract was only through 2015, with many vendors threatening to pull out unless the city expands the Convention Center to better accommodate the 130,000+ crowds.

The city has agreed to a $500,000 dollar expansion- not too bad when you consider the convention brings an estimated $160,000 to the city EVERY YEAR!

So for now Comic-Con has agreed to stay SDCC at least until 2016! Maybe we'll even have a Justice League movie by then!
