John McCain’s latest campaign ad attacks Obama’s position on offshore drilling by comparing him to celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
No, I’m not kidding.
The game here appears to be to paint Obama as an over-hyped piece of pop culture who is essentially only famous for being famous. But is potraying your opponent as extremely [...]
Lots of crazy stuff happened this week. Ryan Seacrest proved that you shouldn’t swim for at least two hours after having Rhinoplasty. John McCain proved that the entire Republican platform now consists of whining about Barack Obama. And rapper Nas proved that threating Bill O’Rielly with cannibalism actually counts as elevating the debate over at [...]
I am working on a brand new Gay Marry It… Or Abort It? that I will hopefully have online later tonight. In the meantime, to tide you over, here is this:
Sen. Ted Stevens from Alaska, the longest serving U.S. Republican senator ever, was indicted on seven counts related to his holding of public office, a [...]
John McCain has a new ad out hitting Obama for not caring about our troops. John McCain on the other hand is always there for the troops… unless they need body armor or whatever.
The kicker of the ad appears to be that while Obama had time to give speeches in front of hundreds of thousands [...]
I’m a few days late, but I think this is worth repeating (Time via TPM):
Time: Was there anything that you saw on this trip that changed your mind? John McCain, as you know, is saying, “Well, he already knew what he was going to think before he got there.”
Obama: Well, I thought John also suggested [...]
Just a note that I’ll be at the beach all week and hopefully nowhere near an internet. Stirling will hold down the fort and will provide all necessary snark when John McCain names Piyush Bobby Jindal as his Vice Presidential nominee, or if there is another outbreak of jalapeno popper salmonella. Have a great week! This [...]
As most of you know my good friend Stirling and I are co-collaborators on Pinko. Today Stirling turns 11 29, and I was hoping we could all join in wishing him a happy birthday. Sure, Stirling isn’t perfect. I don’t know anyone who wants the terrorists to win more than he does, and I’m pretty [...]
In our several months of producing Pinko, I’ve learned a thing or two. Mention Vanessa Williams: traffic goes up. Write high-minded posts highlighting awesome non-profits: traffic goes down. Etc. One thing I know for sure, though, is not to fuck with the holocaust. Today in Israel Barack Obama visited Yad Vashem, the extremely solemn Israeli [...]
July 25, 1923 – July 22, 2008
So much went down since Bastille Day, our last Gay Marry It … or Abort It? John McCain forgot where everything was and kept talking about Czechoslovakia even though it doesn’t exist anymore; Al Gore threw it down on global warming; I ate 14 tubs of queso in Austin, and Shannen Doherty is back on the [...]
