    The cannons of the British warship H.M.S. Hussar were last fired more than 230 years ago. But on Friday, the NYPD discovered that one such cannon on display in Central Park was actually loaded and could have theoretically gone off at any moment. While examining the cannon for cleaning, park workers removed its concrete capping, only to discover a cannonball the size of a melon and one pound and 12 ounces of gunpowder wrapped in wool inside the barrel. “In theory you could have fired that cannon, because the powder was still working,” the NYPD’s chief spokesman, Paul J. Browne, told The New York Times.  How did a loaded Revolutionary War cannon end up in Central Park?

    Turning your back on people who are starving and freezing is not a Republican value.
    — 

    Peter King, a Republican congressman from New York, has gone on an epic tirade against members of his own party for failing to pass a Senate package that would provide $60 billion in relief to victims of Hurricane Sandy.

    Watch.

    “Sure, Bloomberg is an important figure in American politics, but Clinton is a global icon and one of the most powerful women on the planet. And while running New York involves much more than making sure the garbage is picked up on time, it’s definitely a step down from helping negotiate a truce between Hamas and Israel or becoming the first high-ranking American official to meet Aung San Suu Kyi.” —Ryu Spaeth speculates on why Hillary Clinton turned down Michael Bloomberg’s suggestion that she run for mayor of New York
