Gay Marry It … Or Abort It? 9-15-08 Edition
Wall Street.
Okay so we’re about to have a depression. Today the Wall Street Journal called for a WPA-era-style “Resolution Trust Corporation,” which is basically like Sarah Palin ordering the tofu stir-fry. Now I’m not sure who these Lehman Brothers are, if they’re hot, if they are willing to “play together” since they need the money, or what they’re looking for from Uncle Sam but none of this is good. In other news the media is starting to call out John McCain for having a 39% chance of dying in office omfg lying, we nabbed him spending his 70th birthday on Anne Hathaway’s nasty sex yacht, television is back, fashion week has left the runway, and poor David Foster Wallace how terrible is that!? Don’t despair though — Pinko has the best and worst of the week that was, and a few things to look forward to in the last week of Summer (oh shit!) and beyond.
Also: congrats to Mr. Sulu on his actual, real gay marriage. Beam him up! Er…to the list!

McCain spokeswoman (and failed CEO) Carly Forina for declaring that Fey’s portrayal was sexist. Also did you hear that John McCain is a POW? And did you know that Barack Obama is BLACK. And what about 9-11?

Cobra Starship’s management for encouraging the band to record “I Kissed a Boy.” ”I kissed a boy and they liked it; Got all the honeys in the club excited; I kissed a boy just to start shit;That homeboy was not about it.” We couldn’t agree more.

Zooey Deschanel’s agent. Seriously! Why would you be in Failure To Launch unless you absolutely had to be? We know it came out in 2006 but we just saw it.

I haven’t had it, but does mint water sound good? I’ll drink one of those orange-y vitamin waters from time to time but this mint mess sounds misguided.
Uhm, the jury is still out.
Scientists this week are firing up the Large Hadron Collider, a device which could potentially unlock some of the greatest mysteries of the universe. It’s also a device that could accidentally swallow up all of humanity in a massive, death-soaked black hole, a possibility that is “unlikely.”

Let’s put it this way. Opponents say that the Large Hadron Collider may destroy the Earth — in much the same way that opponents say that Barack Obama may be a secret Muslim.
Barack Obama has a large hardon for muslims? But … oh.
I signed up for that Green Jobs thing I think it’s great. I may not though, now that I know the world is going to blow up in a black hole.
