Black People Have It Easy

Geraldine Ferraro, feminist icon turned apparent race-baiting klanswoman (klansperson?), threw on her nicest hood Monday and had some “interesting” things to say about Barack Obama:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position… if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to [...]

Open caption time, furry human suit edition:

Eliot, it’s not so bad.

Oh Eliot, we hardly knew you! But take heart: The sudden fall of Spitzer reminds us of two other “career-ending” political scandals that weren’t career enders at all.
Exhibit A: Jerry Springer. In the early 1970s, Jerry Spinger was an up and coming politico - a golden boy whose name was often uttered in the [...]

Passover, sponsored by Maxwell House.

Was at the food store today, and on the way out I picked up something I’d never seen in my life: an ad-filled, corporate sponsored “Maxwell House Passover Haggadah.” For non-Jews reading Pinko (hi Dad!) a Haggadah is basically a prayer book for one of the most sacred Jewish holidays.

Hillary’s extensive crisis management experience with [...]

oh man that polar bear is cute.

In all the talk over the last couple years about Al Gore and carbon offsets and green roofs I totally forgot that polar bears are so fucking cute you could just kill yourself looking at them. look at him:

And look at him:

Jesus fuck! Poor guy, nothing to look forward to but habitat loss. I know [...]

Obama wins Wyoming, wolves howl.

They would have been howling anyway. It’s Wyoming for christ’s sake. Still, the victory didn’t get a lot of ink in the Sunday papers.

George Clooney, covered in mud.

Is this hot? Nothing makes sense anymore.

Ooops

The little girl pictured was the star of Hillary Clinton’s most recent ad, 3AM, which postulates that Hillary Clinton is the only candidate capable of keeping the girl (and all Americans) safe from being firebombed, raped by Nazis, dragged to her death by wolves, suffocated by nerve gas and killed when an airplane flies into [...]
