Pinko Magazine Hedonism + Activism

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS. I played Kate’s fabulous debate drinking game last night and there was a clear winner: Makers Mark, which defeated me somewhere near 10:05. At this point I’ve given up guessing who wins these debates; last night I groaned when McCain said P.O.W. and was just certain that he’d won the debate hands down. Some thought he’d won but barely. But the consensus this morning: Obama won, but barely, whatever “winning” means in this context. My boss, Katrina vanden Heuvel, has an interesting take: If winning means out-hawking McCain on war and Afghanistan do we really want that? Also I liked Tom Shales this morning, who argued that McCain was too nasty and Obama was too nice. What did you think? More reaction later.
