I've got Amy Poehler Fever, Cause Who Doesn't?

These are basically the two funniest women alive. I've never not laughed at them. Laughed at their jokes I mean. SNL wouldn't be the same without this duo. If you haven't watched Baby Mama yet, do so tonight. It lives in my DVD player on a permanent basis.

They are not only exceptionally wacky and beautiful, they are also mothers. And they spend their fame in the right places. 

I am not one to float around in the world of celebrity fandom, but they have currency in this world. And for a women who makes her living being exceptionally inappropriate, vulgar and absurd....she sure has people listening closely when she gets serious for a minute.

Here's Amy Poehler's speech at the Worldwide Orphan conference (go ahead and start at 3:00)

"Close your eyes and think about your children..." she says. "Now open them. There are children in the world tonight who have nothing... no one who's face lights up when they walk into a room."

"So who are we to be in this room and living this life without helping them? That's it, that's the simple truth."

"Every child should believe they are the center of the universe. If your child believes that right now, you are doing a good job. We should teach children all over the world that they're beautiful and loved and deserve the simple basic things in life."

Here's another video from WWO:

 "I continue to be optimistic and hopeful. Because you can do nothing except be positive when it comes to children."

 "It's about making them believe that they are unique. That they each have the ability to do great things in the world."

Having celebrities give orphans a loud voice, a roaring voice, has me feeling bright this morning. Hopefully, we can see as good of a return on sales as AriZone Iced Tea recently has. Miley Cyrus' pose with their 99 cent can was an advertising gift from the gods. I hear they can't mix that tea fast enough.

Be an advertisement for what you care about.

"If you take one thing away from this event, please remember: giving to charity is good for your skin and it makes your ass smaller."
