Mr. Vidal has been disconnected.
Some may associate him with Myra Breckinridge, Lincoln, or Jackie Kennedy (they shared a stepfather, Hugh Auchincloss), but for me, I’ll always associate Gore Vidal with Ernestine Tomlin.

Gary Stretch, who claims to have the world’s stretchiest skin, as seen today at “The Royal Family of Strange People” show at the Priceless London Wonderground at the Southbank Centre in London through September 29.
Performers include Henna Kaikula and her balancing act. Amazing what she can do on a pole.
This performer, known as “Space Cowboy” demonstrates the fine art of sword swallowing.
I wonder what he can do on a pole.

Here’s a dummy that reminds me a little of actor/Republican Fred Thompson.
Nice moustache!
Buffalo Bob Smith and the now creepy Howdy Doody.
A butcher dummy. Like they need to be scarier.
Imagine growing up in this household.
They’ll never get away with it.
The scariest of them all!

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Aretha Franklin singing the hell out of a 1940′s standard… it’s Skylark.
Here’s something you don’t see every day. It’s Marlene Dietrich singing “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” in German.
Here’s something… you get the idea. Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr singing Cole Porter on live TV in 1954.
And here’s what may be the grooviest thing you will ever hear. Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins.

Alleged singer Ke$ha as she appears on her Twitter page (where she posted a picture of herself urinating in the street), and Callista and Newt Gingrich (who has no shadow), whose businesses are apparently going bankrupt.
One pees poorly and one’s piss poor.
