Both John Mitchell AND Michael Savage went to my High School????

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

Jamaica HS, in Queens. I never knew my school could produce someone who is so hateful and odious. Also, the Rat-Bastard Dodger owner Walter O'Malley and Watergate crook John Mitchell.

On the other hand, we also had Francis Ford Coppola.

1. My high school

produced Janet Napolitano (yayyyyyyyy!) several years after I graduated.

It also produced David Addington (boo hisssss!)

5. SHS--didn't know that slime Addington went there too ( knew that Napolitano did)

major league pitcher Brendan Donnelly too ( for the jocks among us; raises hand sheepishly).

[rebel with a cause]

2. My high school produced

John Malkovich quite a few years after I went there. Also the basketball player/coach Doug Collins.

[pink-o]

3. Suzanne Sommers is my school's most famous alumna

she graduated LONG before I did, of course! (Yeah, like about 6 years earlier only;-)) As for Savage: at least he's gone far away from his old roots, so if you still live there you don't have to worry about running into him.

I OTOH could run into him at any time. I think he only settled here because our non-judgmental happy lives just fuel his fury and insanity.

4. doubt if anybody famous came out of mine

oh maybe Jesse Valenzuela of the Gin Blossoms - hell maybe some of the rest of the band???

I knew Jesse's sister (although he played the wedding march at my wedding - heh)

6. John and Joan Cusack and Jeremy Piven ...all well after my time...

but graduated with both a Playmate of the Year (from '70 or '71 , and "Queen of the B movies") Claudia Jennings (not her real name) and runner up to Miss Universe ( '73) Amanda Jones. Also, Ruby Wax ( actually IS her real name), who moved to England and is a well known comedienne and TV host there. No famous evil people like Savage or Mitchell that I know of.

7. Carlos Santana and Mayor Alioto

Mission High, S.F.Ca.
Everybody else is either dead or in jail

[Brickbat]

8. The band 311. Also, I had the same kindergarten teacher as Dick Cheney.

We turned out a little differently, obviously. Also, he's 30 years older than me.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

9. Dick Cheney?

Now THAT's evil.

[Brickbat]

10. The teacher was wonderful.

It must have been some other teacher that turned him bad. Or he was just born bad.

[HopeHoops]

11. Every high school has assholes. n/t

[MajorChode]

12. I think Michael Weiner (Savage) probably rose to asshole status later in life

In his 20's he was quite the hippy liberal. He hung out with notable beat poets and even guarded Timothy Leary's stash for a while.

13. Hey fellow Mets fan, did you know that John Mitchell is buried in ArlingtonNat'l Cemetary...

just a few - two or three - plots from Judge John Sirica? NO KIDDING.

Right in front of Lee Marvin and boxer Joe Louis?

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

14. I did not know that

Lee Marvin. One hell of an actor.

BTW, his paramour from the famous palimony case died last week.

The Mets season died in June of this year. I don't know what they do from here.
