Pinko Magazine Hedonism + Activism

In the interest of full disclosure, I haven’t watched the debate yet. I was going to watch it last night, but I didn’t. Seriously, who schedules a debate during Top Model?

From what I’ve been reading on other sites, it sounds like I got a more intelligent discussion of the issues by watching “Real World XX: Hollywood“. (Ok, get this: It’s called “The Real World” and the whole thing is set on a Hollwood sound stage! And they have a pompous ass called Prety Boy[sic] who was voted on to the show through an online competition! Finally the people’s voice is being heard. I love democracy!)

What was I talking about? Oh, right. Here are some highlights from the debate I didn’t watch:

• Hillary Answered three seperate questions by screaming “9/11!” and shooting a small Iraqi boy in the back with an automatic “hunting” rifle.
• Barack Obama was noticably shaken when, after a full 63 minutes of inane questions, he was asked about policy. He got so flustered that he accidentally denounced and rejected his own economic stimulus package.
• It was finally revealed that Barack Obama, at the age of 7, was the youngest member of The Weather Underground.

Wow, that actually sounds kind of exciting! Maybe I’ll fire up the DVR and watch it tonight. Either that or watch an episode of Lost that I’ve already seen twice… Hmmm. Tough call.

Editor’s Note: On a semi-related note, It’s been mentioned several times that former “weatherman” Bill Ayers said he has no regrets about the bombings on 9/11. It turns out that Bill Ayers said that he has no regrets about “the bombings” in an article in the New York Times published on September 11th, 2001. Its a small distinction I know, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Late Update: Pinko’s Reader-in-Chief Paul Hogarth thought that this post was lacking a certain Philadelphianess. So here it is:
