You Want Some of Barack, too, Palin?

The Setting: Apparently, they're having a hard time finding a decent Barack Obama impersonator, a Fauxbama. I thought he had enough things going on with his voice and mannerisms that someone would be able to do it.

Fred Armisen on Saturday Night Live is only fair at his impersonation, although I think this past Saturday was the best he's done so far. Well, there's this kid on YouTube who's actually very good - he has the voice, the pauses and inflections, the "uh's," the head movements, and the finger pointings down. And he's also very funny. He doesn't look that much like Obama, but he is definitely the best I've heard so far.

His name is Iman Crossun and he has moved from Ohio to LA and now has a manager, so I'm sure we'll all see him somewhere, soon. Check out Iman's video on YouTube, which shows Obama preparing for a debate. This other video of the third Obama/McCain debate is great, too.

Being Afraid of John Malkovich

The Setting: Am I the only one who's just a little bit afraid of John Malkovich?

I'm sure he's a very nice man and I know he's acting and all that, but there's just something a little...I don't know...sinister about him. I guess that means he's a really good actor. He is fascinating to me in a he-may-kill-you-in-your-sleep kinda way. He's made several movies that I liked such as In the Line of Fire, Being John Malkovich, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Anyway, he is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight. I sure hope it's good.

Oh, and don't tell him what I said about him.
