Freakin' Giuliani....!!!!

When Giuliani was Mayor of New York- way before 9/11, Matt Kalman of www.TheJokeProject.com and I made up an improv about him.

It was later stolen by Saturday Night Live.

It was about two guys who blamed EVERYTHING on "Freakin' Giuliani"
(Of course, when we did it, it was "Fuckin' Giuliani")

People in New York were mad at the time because Rudy closed down the strip clubs and made 42nd street into Disney world.

But it was safer, and I WAAAAAAAYYYYY preferred it to David Dinkins' New York, which was savage beatings and crime u the wazzoo.

In fact I liked Giuliani, and was ALL for him as mayor.

Now that he's running for President, everyone is acting like he did nothing before 9/11, and I wanna say that's BULL.

I'm not saying I'm voting for him, but I AM saying that he was an EXCELLENT mayor, and his opposition is taking cheap shots about 9/11 being his only display of leadership.

And mind you- it was a heck of a display.

Now then- I would ALSO like to tell Rudy to slow down on all the 9/11 posturing too.
I think his advisers are telling him to say 9/11 all the time, just so we stay reminded- I don't need reminding.

Just show us what you got NOW Rudy- I think it's a lot.

"Man.... my feet hurt today... all this concrete everywhere makes my feet hurt... "FUCKIN' GIUIANI!!!"

The Raisbeck's become Seattle's "First Citizens"...

Last week, we went to a dinner in Seattle being given to celebrate my Mother-in-law and Step-Father-in-Laws' philanthropy. It was a pretty swanky deal, with speakers talking all night about the generosity of "Jim and Sherry". I felt really proud to be the newest member of the family, and inspired to get to it and do my part. Here are some pics!





You may notice that James isn't in any of these pictures... well, it turns out that he got ill, and had to miss the whole event! He made it by phone though (technology saves the day!), and made just enough jokes to end the night right.

Our friend Vafa took some other great shots, and you can see his work here:

The Borg-ginning....

I have been saying this for at least a year now, and I am documenting it now, just so I can say "I told you so":

The Bluetooth headset is the beginning of us becoming CYBORGS.

It's not just that people seem crazy when they're wearing it, and talking, but you can't see it. It's that some people wear it while they're NOT talking to anybody-

When they are WAITING for a call.

That's entirely different that the person who is always on their phone, or the amputee who has had his arm replaced. Those people are USING the technology they have.

When someone is wearing a bluetooth headset WAITING for a call- it is an actual ENHANCEMENT to the human being- a non-necessary, and attribute-enhancing device that IMPROVES the human to accept communications.

Think about it.

When we're all cyborg, we're going to look back into history and see that the bluetooth headset was the beginning of our change.

Some people are scared of that idea.

I think it's AWESOME, and I can't WAIT to assimilate Pam Anderson!
