Crime & Punishment: Thief Steals Chinese Food Delivery Car, Continues Making Deliveries

In the 11th hour of her Senate campaign, Republican Linda McMahon tried to align herself with President Barack Obama in Connecticut's overwhelmingly Democratic cities. Flyers distributed in Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven featured pictures of both and read, "President Barack Obama and Linda McMahon will fight for us." They failed to mention that McMahon is a Republican or that she supported Obama's opponent, Mitt Romney. She even hired African-American temp workers to stand outside polls passing out flyers while wearing pro-McMahon/pro-Obama T-shirts, but not even they were convinced. Natasha Parker, stationed in New Haven, told the New Haven Independent news website that her temporary job in the McMahon campaign "doesn't mean I have to vote for her." (McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, lost, despite having poured $97 million of her own money into two attempts at the Senate.)
