From The Washington Post:
A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even larger portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said yesterday … the event is a result of global warming.
Well fuck. That was quick. These things really test the limits our ability to care and really [...]
6:50 PM, Monday. 4/5 subway platform at Atlantic Avenue. I just heard the worst music ever. It was electric guitar and it sounded like Steely Dan, but much worse, and it echoed. There were no words. Times like these challenge our political resolve, and raise the question of whether or not the city should be [...]
There is yet another article, today in The Washington Post, about how hard it will be for black women to choose between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton because, you know, they have to vote for him because they’re black and for her because they’re women because that’s how democracy should be — monolithic — and [...]
Editor’s Note: ‘Commie Tots’ is a new series highlighting the products and trends for little subversives and their rabble-rousing parents. Up first: gDiapers.
We always try to be an environmentally conscious family. We recycle. We buy organic. We live in an apartment and believe that words like “lawn” and “car” should never be used in polite [...]

I don’t want to pretend that I even remotely know how to read, but yesterday I was at a lecture and remembered two books that Pinko’s loyal readers might be into. I’ve plugged Blue Grit, by Laura Flanders before. It’s out in paperback and has a new intro from Naomi Klein; it looks at grassroots [...]
Bill Richardson, former U.S. Congressman, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, former U.S. Secretary of Energy and current governor of New Mexico has endorsed Barack Obama for President. An endorsement from a politician (and former competitor) with such an extensive resume should be a huge deal at this point in the campaign. There is [...]
I shouldn’t do this to you but I watched it and I don’t want to be alone in this darkness.
It’s amazing how, since they’re Republicans, they’ve removed all sexual innuendo and pleasure. “I’m gonna go out … I’m gonna let myself get … absolutely John McCain.”
than irrelevant white guys. A strawberry farmer in Idaho vying for Larry Craig’s seat will appear on the ballot as, simply, Pro-Life. The independent formerly known as Marvin Richardson gave his tactic a whirl when he ran (unsuccessfully) for Governor in ‘06. For those of you disillusioned by the voting system, rest assured that [...]
*If you live in New York, I learned that there is a hot super secret tranny party every Saturday at Fusion at 54th & 10th. I was surprised because Hell’s Kitchen is a black hole and a terrible place unless you like faux Irish taverns, but apparently this thing is huge. Also Montel Williams goes [...]
