WHOA: Mediaite comments on a Wonkette post mocking, among other things, a rather cloying poem written for Trig Palin’s birthday by a Palin supporter.

Man! The Mary Sue reports that Lady Gaga declined to have Weird Al Yankovic parody “Born This Way,” which is a shame. Not only is Lady Gaga kind of beyond parody already (so I was curious to see how he’d handle it), but also get over yourself, Gaga! To see the would-be lyrics, click here.
