Question 531: Elvis Meets The President(They made of movie on that you know)

In the year 1970, the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley met President Nixon at the White House, where he asked for a government job and proudly proclaimed that he was indeed the ultimate patriot. What made the meeting interesting however was the fact that Elvis warned the President about a certain person of note proclaiming him to be a threat to "American freedom" and a "communist". And no Mr.Limbaugh, its not Obama.
Name the guy.

Question 530: I Said Keep Up the GOOD Work, NOT the **** Work....

ID the players below for a point each, but tell me what's the binding context through all the photos for 5 points straight. I need a VERY accurate ID on this binding context - not just a half-stop one.
Bonus points for IDing the individual contexts as well.






Question 529 : *Wink wink*

__X__  started a still hinted-at controversy in 1999 due to his carrying a bag that looks much like a woman's handbag. __X__ was alleged to be a  "gay role model" who was a hidden symbol of homosexuality meant to brainwash the children. The official response given was,  "He's not gay. He's not straight."

In May, 2007, the matter was revisited and an enquiry was planned by one Ewa Sowińska."I noticed that he has a woman's handbag, but I didn't realize he's a boy," Sowińska told a magazine in an interview adding, "Later I learned that there could be some hidden homosexual undertones." Sowińska said she would ask her office's psychologists to look into the allegations, and judge whether it can be shown on public television and whether the suggested problem really exists.

But on 30 May 2007, Sowińska said in a public statement that she no longer suspected the allegation of promoting homosexuality. She said: "The opinion of a leading sexologist, who maintains that this series has no negative effects on a child's psychology, is perfectly credible. As a result I have decided that it is no longer necessary to seek the opinion of other psychologists."

Id X.

Question 528: Put one over me

This man is one tough son-offa-gun.

Interviewed by Naomi Campbell, he spent no time hesitating to rip her a new one.
Once made a famous quote attacking President Bush's silly little Scottish Terrier, the infamous Barney; saying that the dogs from his country "mean" business.
His hobbies include white water rafting on his country's notorious rapids, bareback riding, motorbike racing, judo fighting, hiking shirtless in the Cedar forests and swimming the butterfly to escape freezing in cold lakes.
A raving animal conservationist, he is responsible for the very successful national Tiger protection program, and has extended his obvious influences to protect the bears as well; citing them to be examples of how his father fought the wars. He's even taken the head honchos of government on a tiger-spotting trip in the wild.
He spent his spare time spying on visiting heads of state, often blending in with the crowd in now infamously bad disguises.


Give me his name.

Question 527: Can't think of a title.


What's this?

Question 525: Kiss and tell?

Donald Bonsack, John Edmonson, Wallace C. Fowler, Clarence "Bud" Harding, Walker Irving, James Kearney, Marvin Kingsburg, Arthur Leask, George Mendonça, Jack Russell,  Bill Swicegood, Carl Muscarello and Glenn McDuffie.

Edith Shain, Greta Friedman and Barbara Sokol.

All these people have something in common with regard to an event that occured in 1945. Over the years they've all made claims about how it was them and have made great efforts to prove it.

What was the event and what did they claim?

We're all Confused

Owing to those annoying connecting-to-the-blog problems we've been experiencing over the past few days, the question numbering has indeed gone haywire.
So, please see 521, which has been posted only now.

Please bear with us!
Trying times!

We're all upset.
