<p>On its front page,<em> The New York Times</em> said the NYPD's stop-and-frisks <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/07/nyregion/for-women-in-street-stops-deeper-humiliation.html?_r=1&amp;ref=nyregion" target="_blank">can affect women even more</a>.</p>

<p><!--more-->Roy McDonald <a href="http://capitaltonightny.ynn.com/2012/08/sen-mcdonald-discusses-campaign-mailers-attacking-him/" target="_blank">went on <em>Capital Tonight</em></a> to kvetch about misleading, anonymous mailers from his GOP primary opponent that attacked him for supporting gay marriage.</p>
