Huffington Post: Mitt Romney Tax Returns: New Hampshire Democrats Demand Candidate To Release More

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:22 AM PDT

Democratic activists from New Hampshire called on presidential candidate Mitt Romney, R-Mass., to release more extensive financial disclosure forms and past tax returns to prove he paid adequate taxes during the years that he was governor and prior to deciding to run for president again in 2011.

Ned Helms, a veteran and former Obama state campaign co-chairman, and Ray Buckley, the head of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, lashed out at Romney, saying he was not equipped to fix the American economy and would take country in the wrong direction.

Buckley pointed to recent press reports from Vanity Fair and the Associated Press, which purport to show that Romney failed to report interest in accounts he had in Bermuda, the Cayman Island and Switzerland in filings with the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission. Helms stated that Romney would use "top-down" tactics if he became president and had made millions at Bain and Company while harming middle-class families, shipping jobs overseas, dismantling companies, and firing workers.

Huffington Post: Vatican 2011 Deficit Is $19 Million, Worst In Years

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:22 AM PDT

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has registered one of its worst budget deficits in years, plunging back into the red with a (EURO)15 million ($19 million) deficit in 2011 after a brief respite of profit.

The Vatican on Thursday blamed the poor outcome on high personnel and communications costs and adverse market conditions, particularly for its real estate holdings.

Not even a (EURO)50 million gift to the pope from the Vatican bank and increased donations from dioceses and religious orders could offset the expenses and poor investment returns, the Vatican said in its annual financial report.

Huffington Post: Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans Of America Fund Urges Parents Without Kids In Military To Support Vets

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:24 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- If you have military-age children who have not served in this decade's wars, then you owe a debt – meaning money – to those who did. That's the premise of a new fundraising effort by three wealthy American families who want to help U.S. veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Every non-military family should give something, they said. The affluent should give large sums. No one should think of it as charity, but rather a moral obligation, an alternative way to serve, perhaps the price of being spared the anxiety that comes with having a loved one in a war zone.

Huffington Post: 'Magic Mike' Draws Gay Men To The Cinema

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 10:28 AM PDT

Men flirted and showed off their muscles through tight-fitting tank tops. Women with no shoes gyrated next to men with no shirts. A D.J. played deep beats. Shachar Keizman, 24, climbed atop an armrest and peeled off his shirt to reveal a chiseled torso. People screamed and stuck dollar bills in his shorts.

Then the lights went down, and Channing Tatum got naked.

Clearview Chelsea Cinemas, a cineplex in Manhattan, had become a makeshift gay bar. It was Friday night, and four theaters were showing "Magic Mike," the Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh's new movie about a troupe of male strippers.
