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!!!

Posted by: craig mclaughlin on January 23, 2006 06:10 PM

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.

Posted by: jpok on January 23, 2006 07:38 PM

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.

Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 23, 2006 10:15 PM

AS GOD IS MY WITNESS...

*tears rolling down cheeks*

I'll never have small hair again!

Posted by: lauraw on January 23, 2006 10:32 PM

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?

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
