What I saw from my office window today

So I've seen a bunch of Latin Grammy stars, the Orange County Chopper Guys, and the elephants from the Ringling Brothers Circus. Guess who I saw today?

Hints:

It's a He
He's old
You've all heard of him

Re What I saw from my office window today

I knew someone had seen him naked. I thought it was George for some reason.

So, MJ, what was he doing? Visiting Mr. Cent before he goes off to trial for the Baby Mama Drama??

Re What I saw from my office window today

He was outside the Amtrak station, waiting for his wife or something (after 10 minutes a second limo pulled up and they went inside). I went to the window after I heard his limo driving shouting at a cop to "make them move the f@#$ing bus!" about 20 times, that's when I saw HK. So my coworker and I stood at the window watching and a second coworker comes along down the street, her lunch in one hand and a soda in the other, walks thisclose right past HK, turns right about a foot away from him, and crosses the street to our building, with us shouting "Look right! look right!!" the whole time. She didn't look and when she got upstairs, it was just in time for her to see his back as he walked in the building.

Re What I saw from my office window today

OK, today outside my window it's been a hovering helicopter. I Do Not Like hovering helicopters, ever since a day almost 7 years ago if you get my drift, and I really wish the hovering helicopter would Go Away. (Apparently a daredevil climbed the Times Building uptown from me.)

You have lots of exciting things happen where you are!

Re What I saw from my office window today

With a big-ass sign saying something about Global Warming, what a great environmentalist! Of course climbing up a building brought police cars, fire engines, helicopters, shut down and detoured traffic, created a traffic stand-still, etc., which probably increased this idiot's carbon footprint by 1500%, but hey, he got the word out about global warming! yay, him!!
