There is an absolutely hilarious cartoon on Slate that provides illustration of a call that Rudy Giuliani took on his weekly radio show when he was mayor. I was also going to go into why I agree with the articles on Slate that point out why he’d make a bad president, but instead I think that we should really just enjoy this clip.

Speaking of weasels, the Ottawa series is finally upon is. This time between playoff rounds is painful. Again, it’s a bigger challenge, but no reason why Buffalo cannot win this series as well. On Monday, I said that turnovers and special teams could spell the end for Buffalo. This is what Jim Kelley said yesterday when he picked Ottawa in six games: “The Ottawa defence and especially the Ottawa special teams exploit the lone area of weakness in the Sabres game, their inability to dominate on special teams.” Am I brilliant or does everybody know this?
If Detroit wins their series, it means Hasek comes back to play either in Buffalo or Ottawa for the Cup.
I shaved my neck again yesterday morning as well as the top of my cheeks where I’ve had a few stray whiskers. My beard is really red, and in pictures when I’m wearing a cap you can assume that the hair on my head is red as well and it’s really weird. I don’t feel like I’m looking at myself. I have had the vague sense that I look like some sort of bearded actor, but I can’t come up with anybody. I got my hair cut really short yesterday, and with the red beard I see more than a little of Dr. Benton Quest looking back at me in the mirror.
On that tangent, I have been trying to find Looney Toons on Boomerang for Syd and I to watch every once in a while. Most of the kiddie shows now take such great pains to explain themselves directly to the audience and repeat things continually. With Looney Toons, Syd ends up asking a lot of questions. Actually, she asks the same question. “What’s he doing?” And usually there is a hotel detective or something similar involved in the story, and it’s tough to summarize for a little child. “If Porky and Daffy oversleep one more time, they are going to be fired!” But it’s great fun, and she enjoys it just as much as I’m sure I did. And back to Hanna-Barbera, for every great series they had like Jonny Quest and Scooby, there were probably ten utter pieces of crap, which Boomerang still airs. According to Wikipedia, there was even controversy at the time about low quality as they tried to pump out as many cartoons as possible for Saturday mornings.
