Pinko Magazine Hedonism + Activism

PinkoSienna reports a victory in her bloodline, from a Swing State no less! From her awesome grandma …

I’ve done my bit - I voted  by absentee, and yes I voted for Obama.  And beyond that, I have been thoughtfully correcting the conservative (extreme) essays sent me by my very  conservative friends, few but adamant.  I [...]

There is a lot that I don’t necessarily agree with, or more honestly that I just don’t want to hear. But Klein spoke last week at a Nation/Brecht Forum community meeting about the economic crisis and breaks down in stark terms the limitations of Obama, MoveOn and the left in pushing a strong economic agenda. [...]

This morning I got an email from our friend Rita in Allentown, PA. Rita was reporting an anti-Obama “push-poll.” In simple terms a “push-poll” is a phone call masquerading as a survey, but actually is meant to deliver various rumors or negative dirt on a candidate.

So we’ve heard all about “maverick” John McCain’s maverick days, crashing planes, picking fights, partying hard, and disobeying authority, like any good maverick does. It seems the children of Australia have been paying attention, and, sadly, none of them had an admiral for a father.
An entire class was suspended for setting off fireworks, vandalizing cars, [...]

Ed Note: PinkoJenn is on the ground in Wisconsin reporting for us on the Obama campaign and her experience as a volunteer. We heart PinkoJenn.
Dear Obama Supporter,
You are the best!  Thanks so much for supporting Obama!  We most certainly need your support.
But here’s the thing.  When you come into HQ, and we don’t have yard [...]

Last week was world food day.  Sadly, I only noticed it when I checked out Michael Kleinman’s blog, which really does put a damper on my humanitarian credentials, and makes me wonder: In all the election madness and Plumber-based economic punditry, what about hunger?  Maybe Jeffery Sachs can tell us? Can the developing world survive [...]
