Give a little, get a little

I made a donation to the ASPCA today and I hate myself for it. I didn’t do it for adorable Freedom or any of the other needy little creatures of this earth. I did it for the swag. God I love charity swag.
I love my dog. He wears sweaters and sometimes he wears a coat [...]

Ugly Betty no!

Why are you so clearly voting against the economic and social interests of your fictional family from Queens I love so much? Do Mark and little Justin and Vanessa Williams and the secretly extremely hot actor who plays your boyfriend know that you support 24-28 years of dynastic rule in America? Did Hillary Clinton lie [...]

Like the politics, miss the package.

American Apparel is hard to read. Sexual harassment allegations against CEO? My little briefs come OFF. Demonstrable positive impact in downtown Los Angeles community? Little briefs back ON. More allegations that CEO may be inviting garment workers “upstairs” for a little “overtime?” Little briefs off, again. It’s exhausting. Then over the weekend an interesting piece [...]

The Curiously Organic Mint

Stinky hippies of the world rejoice! Newman’s Own Organics’ has added four flavors of organic mints to it’s product line. This is great news for vegans who don’t want to buy gelatin laced Altoids, but who don’t want to smell like a water buffalo fart either.
The Cinnamon, Ginger, Peppermint and Wintergreen varieties come in [...]

Happy Birthday Dr. King

uhm … oh god. [insert emoticons or letters strung together indicating speechlessness here.](guilty pleasure alert: Pinko actually kind of likes Who Let the Dogs Out, at least we did until it showed up in that goddamned Rugrats in Paris. Damn you Nickelodeon!)

New “right-wing MoveOn.org” has so much money they might be able to somehow send more emails than the real, left-wing MoveOn.org.

Spam alert! A bunch of crazies who used to work for President Bush (including his old press secretary, Ari Fleischer) started a group last summer called Freedoms Watch. Basically they want us to believe that the war is working, we should have lots more war, and that freedom is — as a great American leader [...]

A Hoodie for Grown-Ass Men

Growing up, it was impossible for me to go shopping for clothes without coming home with bags full of jeans, high tops and hoodies.
This may have been cute when I was a teenager, but I’m a man now. A man with a closet full of designer jeans, vintage high tops, my baby, and of [...]

Obama wins Nevada (Wait, what? I know!)

Clinton may have won the popular vote in Nevada, but because of some bizarre ‘Only in America’ type of shit, Obama actually won more delegates.
Today those new at-large caucus sites in Las Vegas, the ones Clinton’s supporters tried to shut down, went overwhelmingly for Clinton. (Wait, Clinton? I know. bare with me.) Naturally then, Hillary [...]

Huckabee = Supremacy. You + me=Bestiality.

It takes a bold, fearless, once morbidly obese leader to come out with two wildly offensive and regressive (like, serious dark ages kind of shit) positions in just one blessed day. Mike Huckabee is that man. For those keeping track at home, Huckabee, who may win tonight’s South Carolina primary …
1. Is totally down with [...]
