Cops watch scantily clad women hand out bananas
One big pile of bananas, two young women wearing nothing but bras, panties and stockings, and five Columbus police officers mounted on horseback made for a quirky scene on a street corner outside the Ohio Statehouse on Tuesday, April 28.
The women, who were representing People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, held signs promoting the benefits of vegetarian eating, offered to have their photos taken with people, and doled out bananas.
The publicity stunt brought out the cops, who were apparently on scene to make sure no one slipped on a banana peal or the women didn’t shed what little they were wearing.

Voino and Brown on Specter: You say Potato, I say Potahto
Sen. George Voinovich, a Republican, is disappointed that Sen. Arlen Specter, a former Republican from Pennsylvania, decided to be a Democrat. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, is happy about this development.
Here are their statements on Specter’s decision to switch parties Tuesday, April 28:
First, Voinovich:
“I know Arlen and I know he loves the United States Senate, as evidenced by him coming back twice from fighting a grave illness to continue to serve Pennsylvanians. That being said, I am very disappointed in his decision. I know Arlen will continue to vote his conscience and I will do my best to ensure that all Republican members continue to have a voice in the Senate.”
Second, Brown:
“I’m pleased to welcome Senator Specter. Our states border each other and face many of the same challenges; our Capitol Hill offices are on the same hallway; and we will now share a Party. I look forward working with him to fight for the priorities of middle class families from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and across the nation.”
