Jazz Hands Bloomby!

Mayor Bloomberg tried out a little Fosse at the NYC press corps dinner over the weekend. The theme was "Queer Eye for the Rich Guy" (Gothamist tip: Stop looking so dour and smile more!) and featured sketches about beer-swilling firefighters and cigarette-smokers. They apparently had fun, but Gothamist can only imagine what would have happened if Upright Citizens Brigade or P.S. 122 were involved.

And there's a great New York magazine article by Greg Sargent about Mayor Bloomberg becoming a politician, as in "finding his inner Rudy": "Hammer away one day, and escalate the assault the next on the radio�it�s City Politics 101, a mainstay of none other than the Hannibal Lecter of City Hall, Rudy Giuliani." Hannibal Lecter of City Hall - Gothamist would TOTALLY see that movie.

Is it me? or is this very clock work orange-y.

It makes me feel crazy to look at it.

Who's the genius who came up with this idea?

My favorite photographs of Mayor Bloomberg tend to involve kids. Like him opening the school year, reading to kids, and high fiving kids. It's just so funny, to see him interacting with them, since he seems sort of stiff and square.
