We have nothing to fear but … terrorists, zombies and deadly death.

Several responses come to mind when considering Hillary Clinton’s controversial new TV ad “3AM,” where she asks who we want answering the “red phone” at 3AM when the “call comes in” that our world has totes changed again or whatever.

Hitchens, Hot Dogs, Chicago 10. I’m SO angry grrrr!

Went to Vanity Fair’s premiere last night of the Chicago 10, a film about the legendary protests and violence at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

Ice Queen of Narnia, David Bowie Impersonator and recent Oscar Winner Tilda Swinton gets my vote. According to The Guardian she is an “unsettlingly uncompromising woman”. She joined the Communist Party as a student, and said recently that she rejects the “right to pursue happiness” as the heart of the rotten capitalist system. [...]

A candidate we can all get behind.

Caffeine-Deprived, The Country Grinds to a Halt

No, the president hasn’t been assassinated. Nobody has landed on a virgin celestial body. Ed Sullivan’s cameras are not doing everything they can to avoid Elvis Presley’s hips.
So what IS causing that creaking sound of the country coming to a sudden and complete stop? Why, it’s the locking of Starbucks doors across [...]

We don’t want to inundate you with action alerts, since they are easily the second most irritating facet of activism besides canvassers, but today there are two really good things you can do, quickly, on some issues we’ve followed here at Pinko:
