POPSIf “Mark Twain Said It,” He Probably Didn’t In America, Shapiro said that “people associated with folksiness” such as Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and Yogi Berra are the big quote magnets. Another folksy fellow is George W. Bush, who often gets credit for the supposed Bushism “strategery,” which was actually coined by Bush impersonator Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live. Similarly, the Sarah Palin one-liner “I can see Russia from my house” is a Tiny Fey-ism, not a Palinism. Shapiro believes that Palin could be the next big quote magnet, and that “stupid quotes in the future will get pinned on her.”

POPSBeautiful tropical birds at London Zoo For anyone thinking how vibrant and crystal clear the picture of Queen Victoria is, it should be pointed out that in keeping with the Victorian theme of the building, Queen Victoria impersonator Sylvia Strange attended the launch, alongside an impersonator playing her lady-in-waiting. The Queen did however visit the zoo several times during her reign. She became the patroness of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) in 1837. The pavilion took a year to restore and is named after ZSL patron David Blackburn who agreed to underwrite the costs.

POPSRos-Lehtinen hangs up on Obama. Twice. "You are either very gracious to reach out in such a bipartisan manner or had run out of folks to call if you are truly calling me and Saturday Night Live could use a good Obama impersonator like you," Ros-Lehtinen joked with the president-elect.

POPSWhy inclusionary language matters More: You can believe with all your heart that sexism is terrible and evil, but when you call a woman a bitch, it kind of undermines your point. You can think that people with disabilities are oppressed and marginalized by society, and that this is wrong, but when you call something “lame,” you’re saying that you think it’s ok to continue oppressing people with disabilities. When you say that someone should “step up,” you are unconsciously erasing everyone in the population who cannot step, like wheelchair users and people who are bedbound. When you refer to someone or something as “insane” or “crazy,” you are using mental illness as a slur. So stop it. Stop using exclusionary language. Start including people. And stop trying to defend it. If you’re too lazy to find a better word or phrase to use, that’s your problem, not society’s.

POPSTransvestite Obama Impersonator Arrested for Indecent Exposure
This past weekend however, Talleywhacker may have taken his act too far, when he performed on the hood of his car after hours, and offered up the Full Monty for his fans. The show could only be described as "lewd twisted erotica" added Adimo. "The guy is really sick, and all of us just love to watch him." Later however, when two carloads of drunken partiers crashed the parking lot party, Police were called in on account of a small riot. "All hell broke loose, said Smorecum, an admitted hermaphrodite. "And what made this particularly funny, was that I was disguised as a nun that night, and I almost got arrested for beating one of the punks over the head with my big wooden crucifix! When the cops showed up, I split." In the end, Talleywhacker was the only one arrested, and appeared before the judge full clothed on Monday morning. He was released on bail. He is charged with public drunkenness, indecent exposure, and inciting a riot. "They probably just want to stick me on the

POPSHarry Connick Slams Blackface Routine He Unwittingly Judged Can only black people parody anybody and any race now? What if someone really tried hard to be just like Jackson with the makeup to resemble him and ended being so rotten that all people laughed--would this be insulting too? I guess one had to see it... I wonder if Connick is carrying his gun through customs any more?
