Once ubiquitous on the campaign trail and the New York social circuit, Rudy and Judith Giuliani have been noticeably absent as of late, sending reporters across town chasing a rumor that the two have separated.

AIG now stands for "Anonymous, Inescapable Guilt." That's one possible interpretation of the insurance giant's move to take its logo off one of its New York buildings. Either that or they're following their own advice.
