Tina Fey as Palin: ‘Marriage is meant for people who wear different kinds of swimsuits’
On Wednesday night, former “Saturday Night Live” producer and “Weekend Update” host Tina Fey appeared on “The Actor’s Studio” with host James Lipton. Lipton asked Fey if she would reprise her impression of former vice presidential candidate and half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). “We can try,” said Fey gamely,…
Music (and Comedy!) Fridays: $2 Haircut Edition
In lieu of a music video, may I present an excerpt from Tina Fey’s hilarious speech at the Center for Reproductive Rights gala Wednesday night. I was there, and can say the whole speech was killing ‘em. At one point, she suggested that Virginia was moving towards banning Pap smears…
Tina Fey rips ‘grey-faced men with $2 haircuts’ defining rape
Actress Tiny Fey was seething on Wednesday as she try to express her outrage at recent comments by several Republican politicians about rape. “I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialogue about these complicated issues,” the comedienne told the Center for Reproductive Rights Inaugural Gala. “But it seems…
Non-overt, overt, and assumed feminism in pop culture
The great paradox of social justice movements is that they exist to eradicate themselves. Think, for instance, of the abolitionist movement. Once the goal of ending slavery was achieved, there was no more abolitionist movement. This is what we all want for our movements. Feminism, in particular, exists for one…
Tina Fey’s Palin jokes edited out of PBS broadcast
Tina Fey made Sarah Palin the butt of many jokes with her impersonation on Saturday Night Live during the 2008 presidential campaign. But during the Sunday night PBS broadcast of the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Fey’s Palin jokes were left on the cutting room floor. Fey…
Sensational census reports outdo wacky SNL sketches
Saturday Night Live sketches about wacky encounters with census workers don’t seem as bizarre as some of the headlines floating across the web this week. The latest episode of NBC’s long-running sketch comedy series contained a bit where former cast member Tina Fey attempted to get some simple census questions…
Tina Fey doesn’t care about your moral uplift
Overthinking It tackles the all-important question that consumes many of my politically astute friends who are also fans of “30 Rock”: where does the show’s politics lay? (They also recently had me on as a guest podcast panel member again, always fun.) On its surface, “30 Rock” seems liberal, but…
Comics break their solemn if unmade vow not to have political opinions
Did you know that comic books have a professional obligation to refrain from expressing political opinions, at least of the variety that could convince readers to vote for Democrats? Neither did I. But apparently, it’s supposed to be an earth-shaking scandal that Spiderman is paling around with Obama in one…
Tina Fey gives nerds hope
This Vanity Fair profile of Tina Fey is both intriguing and unbelievably irritating, because Maureen Dowd wrote it. Dowd is more than a little obsessed with Fey’s looks (though it’s depressing but interesting that Fey had to lose 30 pounds and learn to ape the sexy librarian look before she…
Pathetic yard sign captured in Raleigh – and Q of the Day
A reader sent this in and said: “I came across this in the Mordecai neighborhood of Raleigh. Notice the symbols they used.” At least it was countered by this: By far I see more Obama stickers and signs in my town, including a hilarious “Tina Fey in 2008″ sign next…
