Our friend Sam Rubenfeld, who is covering the Republican Convention for the Hofstra Chronicle , graciously alerted us to a video he took of today’s Rudolph Giuliani’s speech to a New York Republican Delegation lunch. You may view it here .
Basically it was a quieter rehearsal for tonight’s more Duce-like performance. Giuliani started with a long encomium to John McCain, whom he called "one of the most experienced candidates for president for the last 100 years, from executive experience, military... not just another Senator, but a leader of the Senate." Lest attention flag, he devoted the second half of his address mostly to attacks on the opposition.

On- and off-blog responses tell me I’m not the only one who enjoys hearing from that chap in London, Rodney. So I’ve invited him to guest-post from time to time, and he’s agreed. For starters, he’s taken as his text a certain pesky website . . .
You may have heard of Wikileaks. (No, it’s not Joe the Plumber’s imaginary business, nor is it an embarrassing 3 am syndrome suffered by Jimbo Wales.)

“Over the last six years, this building has totally deteriorated. Rents have increased but services have decreased. The lack of heat and hot water has made this building a disaster” said Eugenie White, the Presid... more
Well, we didn’t see that one coming with the Texas and Ohio primaries. We doubt the Post and the News did either, since a lot of the coverage has a "Hillary? Really?" tone to it. Sure, there’s plenty of "Comeback Kid" metaphors in the tabs (look at the front page), but for two papers that were all but ready to anoint Obama the nominee (and had practically forgotten that Clinton existed), there’s an awkward, "Oh, you’re still here?" narrative playing ... more
There are 3,306 homeless people living on New York City streets, a decline 12 percent since last year, Mayor Bloomberg and the Department of Homeless Services announced Tuesday.
Two years ago, Bloomberg launched a “supportive housing” program that provides access to subsidized housing designated specifically for use by the homeless. That program helped spur the decline, as well as more aggressive efforts to break up homeless encampments and cooperation with MTA to reach out t... more
