Just follow along here for a second...

I wrote the post below about five minutes ago, only to find out that the audioblog that is posted beneath it actually did post. When I did the regular post I had thought that the audioblog never got here. I'll probably regret calling the audioblog "probably the funniest thing I've ever done", but I don't delete posts, and I'm not starting today.

Oh ya, also the audioblog skipped out right as I was about to pick up the poop, it's not that I slipped and get knocked unconscious or anything like that. That'll make sense if you listen in, I promise.

Lastly, this is probably just confusing matters even more but the reason that I put a picture of some clouds here is because I couldn't think of anything that was relevant to this explanation and everyone likes clouds.

Okay, phew, enjoy...

I'm sorry to post a picture of Mr. A for the second time in a week but I just read that he is coming to NYC to give a speech at the UN in about two weeks.

(Oh, I should mention first that the reason for this late post is because I did an audioblog that apparently didn't post for some reason. Since it's been lost forever, let me note that it was probably the funniest thing I've ever done.)

So anyway, Ahmadinejad wants to debate Mr. Bush and now it seems like it could become a reality. Of course, George will get out of it somehow, which is probably good, because even though Ahmadinejad is a nutjob, he seems pretty well spoken.

(Insert any memory of George screwing up a simple word that pops into your head.)

My point is, that even though we've gotta stop this Islamo-Facism thats sweeping the word (much like Cabbage Patch Kids in the mid-80's), we can't stop it via debating. Maybe if we could send in a pinch-debator for George, but not if it's just him up there.

Okay, enough of this topic. I'm not even sure if I said anything new or unobvious, but my hilarious audioblog took a lot out of me.

I'm watching the Yankees vs. Royals as I write this. I'll be all about baseball once the playoffs start but this is majorly boring. Are the Royals even still in the big leagues?

Okay, that's it for now, I have to go bring sexy back...

There's nothing like a random still-shot to make a situation look weirder than it actually is.

Rosie debuted on The View today, and I gotta say she was pretty funny. I thought she had some good interactions particularly with Joy Behar, which was nice, because it's always good to see two solid comic minds riffing together.

Beyond that, I thought the most interesting thing going on was how clearly it seems that Barbara Walters is losing her control of the show. She seems slow, out-of-touch, and unamused. She fakes it all decently, I bet her days as a full-time co-host are numbered after this season. Remember you heard that here first. Rememeber it!

I also watched a couple minutes of Katie who was her usual, new self. By that I mean, sort of smiley, but also not trying to smile too much. As Andrew Tavani pointed out to me, there is a poster of her on a bus here in NYC where her smile is so contrived, as if to please everyone, that it's utterly ridiculous.

Okay, that's it for the ladies of TV in new places. Tommorrow, the men of TV in old places that shouldn't exist anymore.

As for me today, I went food shopping this afternoon and had the good fortunate of seeing a woman yell at a man behind-the-counter over the price of caviar. Fortunately for him, I don't think he understood much English, and fortunately for her, despite her bad attitude, she has enough money to buy caviar. It was 400 bucks for 4 ounces. Is it really that good? Somehow, I doubt I'll ever know.

(If you'd like to send me some caviar via caviar.com or snootyfood.org, just e-mail me for my home address.)

It's the first day of school, and I don't have a school to go to anymore. It's a sad, sad day when that happens. At least I have my banana and apple and giant pencils.

Everyone's talking about Katie Couric's debut on the CBS Evening News. I'd like to reference something I wrote about her back in January, well before she got the job...

Watching Rosie's first day on The View, I'll have a full Lesbian-Back-On-TV review shortly...

Just came across this teleprompter fiasco from Fox News anchorman Shepard Smith. Kyra, I hope this gives you a little piece of mind...



More in a bit...

Thanks to CNN's little bathroom snafu, Rubinville got more hits than ever yesterday. Interestingly, we got a ton of hits because many people searching for her spelled her name incorrectly, typing in "Kira" instead of "Kyra." See, my lack of fact-checking around here can pay off sometimes.

This all clearly leads us to another installment of the top ten search phrases people used to come to Rubinville...

1. Kira Phillips
2. Kyra Phillips
3. Kyra Phillips bathroom
4. Horse Vagina
5. Dave Rubin
6. Kyra Phillips open mic
7. Kira Phillips audio
8. CNN Kira
9. David Rubin
10. Rubinville

As you can see, it is a very uniform list. Hoepfully, some of the people who stopped by for Kyra will come back for some Dave, I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. If I know one thing, it's that the good people who came for horse vagina will be back, so that need not be mentioned. I do want to emphasize though that I really do like Kyra, and you can check out the archives to confirm that.

(If you do check out the archives to confirm that you are truly a Gold Member here at Rubinville. Please e-mail me and we'll automatically upgrade you're entire package.)

One last clerical thing. This was by far the most hits here this month, which continues a trend of increasing traffic for something like the last 14 months. I'd like to get the comment section a little more alive, but I'm told that the Rome comment section wasn't built in a day, either.

As the student of comedy that I am, I've been reading a book, "Seriously Funny", about the great comedians of the 50's and 60's. To no surpirse I've loved the chapters on comics like Lenny Bruce, Bill Cosby and Mel Brooks. To my surprise though, I found the chapter on Joan Rivers pletty enlightening, too. Just when I thought I knew it all.

Okay, time to take Emma for a walk. I went to the bathroom a few minutes ago and she's looking at me with jealous eyes...

Someone left Kyra Phillips microphone on while she went to the bathroom during GWB's Katrina speech yesterday. Kyra, you know I love ya, but this is too good not to post...
