Embarrassing Celebrity College Facebook Picture Watch

You know Amy Poehler from Saturday Night Live? She's the blonde that does the news with little Ms. Liberal there. The one who thinks she's working for Saturday National Public Radio, and basically just reports liberal-friendly news with only the thinnest pretext of building a joke out of it.

The one who was overpraised for her nothing little fart of a Heathers remake, Mean Girls, basically because all the critics liked how she was out and proud as a strident liberal. No going where the funny is for Tina Fey!

Anyway, back to Amy Poehler.

Boston Irish has used his extensive sources to find her Boston College Facebook picture. Pretty goofy.

What frickin' year was that from? 1983? She looks like a Flock of Seagulls groupie. Either that or she just came back from hair and makeup as a background "actor" in Papa Don't Preach.

Yeah, it's trivial, but it's original reportage. I guess.

In case you didn't know, by the way, she's married to Will Arnett, who plays G.O.B. on Arrested Development.

Speaking Of Amy Poehler Update From Dave At Garfield Ridge: She appears in this recent SNL music video honoring one of the greatest heroes in American History: "Young Chuck Norris."

Sure. Look under "Not pictured."

I liked Mean Girls, although not for anything having to do with Tina Fey.

What's "Saturday Night Live"?

Posted by: JSinger on January 23, 2006 06:08 PM

I don't mind so much that Tina Fey is a lib, it's just that she always looks like she's so damned pleased with herself, with that annoying little smirk. Then again, I gave up on SNL many moons ago, so whatever.

COME ON!!!

I *like* Tina Fey, but I guess I'm alone here.

Where I know that I'm NOT alone, however, is in the acknowledgement that Rachel Harris is one major hottie.

C'mon, don't leave me hangin' here, folks.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 23, 2006 06:36 PM

If *like* means fuck doggystyle with spite, count me in. Who is Rachel Harris?

Posted by: Mike on January 23, 2006 07:14 PM

Big hair = sexy.

Forever.

Shut. Up.

Posted by: lauraw on January 23, 2006 07:32 PM

Oh, that big hair. I remember it well.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 23, 2006 07:33 PM

Harris , formerly of the Daily Show and now permament VH1 slut, is like the blond, cuter, scar-less version of Tina Fey.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 23, 2006 07:35 PM

Anyone who has ever seen any epsiode of Upright Citizens Brigade will tell you that that is a damn good picture of Amy Poehler. Her specialty on that show (which happens to be the funniest show ever, except possibly MST3K) was looking somewhere between deranged and retarded.

Sparkle, when I read the text under that photo, it almost sounds like you're making fun of Big Hair.

Also, in your more recent pic, you are not sporting.

What...is going on?
Are you OK?

If you're having money trouble, I can send you a few cans of AquaNet to help you get through the rough times. Small hair is a personal tragedy so easily averted. Reach out, Sparkle.
I'm here.

Let me know,

LauraW.

I'm fine. Really. I appreciate your concern.

Have you tried this "freeze spray" stuff? You can get it as Sally's beauty supply and it rocks!

You spray your hair up and it is CEMENTED up for the whole day. You can bounce a golf ball off of it. I swear.

Sweet.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 23, 2006 08:37 PM

What is this "freeze spray"?

Is it F5 rated?

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 10:13 PM

You can bounce a golf ball off of it. I swear.

Sounds like when I took Viagra.

AS GOD IS MY WITNESS...

*tears rolling down cheeks*

I'll never have small hair again!

Oh, I forgot.

So Amy's married to the actor who plays Gob and plays a character married to Gob? Ponderous man, fucking ponderous.

I'm with you Dave. There's Something About Rachel.

Re: Rachel Harris

Lisa Loeb called. She wants three of her Nine Stories back.

How many stairs must a man climb up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many protests must one man make
To get CNN to reply?
Yes, 'n' how many pants will it take till he knows
That too many protesters cried?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' up my end,
The answer is blowin' up my end.

body wave? What a wimp! If you didn't have a perm you didn't really have big hair.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 24, 2006 10:25 AM

Speaking of Lisa Loeb, have you seen her new reality show where is looking for a husband???

Good Grief, I would never date again. How can any of you stand it?

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.

It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.
