Senator Hillary Clinton is asking the public for some advice on what may very well be the most important part of her campaign: The Song.

An exciting follow-up to our post on how cats love TV: There's an actual Internet radio station, DogCatRadio.com, that caters to pets. And their owners, we imagine, because if pets can email cute photographs of themselves, then they should be able to clean up their own poo. Anyway, the NY Times spoke to founder AdrianMartinez about the genesis of the station:

Mr. Martinez, 34, who owns six dogs and two cats, said he founded the station because "my cat, Snickers, asked me to do it." One day, Snickers was pacing the floor restlessly and meowing. "I said, 'What do you want?' " Mr. Martinez recalled in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "I turned up the music, and she was fine." He discovered that Snickers likes 80's rock, particularly the Eddie Money version of the song "Take Me Home Tonight:" "I feel a hunger /It's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night."

Crazy stuff is happening in New York City streets: A dirtslide yesterday, and today, two horses get loose from a stagecoach on 14th Street and gallop around town. The NY Times reports that the horse-drawn stagecoach was promoting Shania Twain's new fragrance (probably named "Shania!"), was bumped by a van while on 14th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues this morning. The horses were able to break free, with Hero reaching 6th Avenue before being stopped and Princess making it all the way to 13th Street and Fifth Avenue before a construction worker reined her in. It was a horse rebellion! One woman emerging from the subway ducked in time, and said, "You don't expect horses to be charging towards you on your way to work on the sidewalk in Manhattan." No, no, you don't.
