Introducing: Pinko’s Own Super Sex Columnist!

I love Elicia Gonzales. We once sat at a family-oriented beach drinking margaritas out of sippy cups together. Elicia, saucy Scorpio that she is, will be blogging from time to time on matters of the heart and the flesh. She has several degrees and she’s brilliant. As a first experiment, Elicia is working on this [...]

Top Ten Progressive Books

A good little feature is up today over at Alternet — the best progressive books of 2007. Several of them are for sale in our Pinko store (wink wink) and you may have heard of many, but hopefully there are some new discoveries on the list. You can read the whole article at the link [...]

Clay Aiken, the propriety of panties.

I don’t really like Clay Aiken, but did think this quote about undie-heaving fans from a profile in New York was funny:
The pace of the panties has slowed recently, but the occasional pair still flies Clayward as he belts out “I Want to Know What Love Is” or “Everything I Do (I Do It for [...]

Obey Obama

Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the “Obey Giant” stickers etc., has thrown his support behind Barack Obama. Today he released this limited addition print, proceeds from which will go towards a statewide poster campaign. Here is what Mr. Fairey had to say about Obama.
“I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the [...]

Holy shit! Tuesday election roundup.

**John McCain won Florida. This is bad because he apparently hates gay people; he said that it would be “fine with me” to be in Iraq 100 years; he assures us “There will be other wars” (phew! says the defense contracting industry); also he’s now 822 years old.
** Hillary Clinton won Florida (sort of) and [...]

Pinko Founder Ties Clinton in Florida

Ben Wyskida, Publicity Director for The Nation Magazine and co-founder of Pinkomag.com has tied with Hillary Clinton in today’s Florida primary. Hillary Clinton is currently locked in a heated race for the Democratic nomination.  Ben Wyskida is currently hanging out in his apartment. Both received a total of zero delegates today. Neither Mr. Wyskida, or [...]

Baseball, hot abs, Brady Anderson, tmz.com

Uhm, so this is kind of off any relevant Pinko topic, but when I was 12 and simultaneously a rabid Baltimore Orioles fan AND a sexually-confused, pre-pubescent budding homosexual, I had the biggest crush ever on totally awesome and extremely hot center fielder Brady Anderson. Anderson became an huge sensation in 1992 when he made [...]

Those Wacky Germans and Their Politaoke!

If you are anything like us, you’ve spent a good deal of your life standing in front of a mirror, reciting old State of the Union addresses into a hairbrush. If this sounds familiar, then artist Diana Arce has a treat for you! On January 30th Diana will be unveiling “Politaoke”, an event that mashes [...]

I see dead people.

My friend Hilary got a bunch of us into a “Dead Pool.” You go online, pick 10 celebrities you think will die in the next year, then wait. There are point calibrations based on the age of the celebrities (i.e. Al Gore dying nets you more points than Gore Vidal) and based on popularity in [...]

What in the hell is happening here?

Ok, We just found this photo from 2004 in the New York Times but we can’t decide what to make of it. Is Obama leaning in for a kiss? Is he just jealous of Jackson’s rather formidable mustache? You tell us! Post your captions in the comments below.
buzz-it!
