Essentials
Not even close…
I just wanted to drop a quick note and tell you that Paul Hogarth has a great piece up on Huffington Post right now. The piece is about the media continuing to project the myth that the presidential race is close.
Women and Latinos who supported Hillary Clinton are flocking to Obama, despite the narrative that [...]
This is the greatest thing ever.
I don’t know how much time you spend thinking about Hummus, but I spend lots. Most of those wistful, longing daydreams are for Sabra brand hummus, which is so inexplicably good that there must be something in it. MSG? I don’t know. I didn’t eat it for awhile because a friend told me it was [...]
Re-writing history, the right way.
In the Summer of 1877, the economy had gone south. Brakesmen and B & O Railroad workers pulling 72-hour weeks saw their wages cut 10-20%, while the railroad barons took home massive bonuses. (Sound familiar?) That summer the tension came to a head in Pittsburgh, where a serious strike went down:
When the outrage took hold [...]
R.I.P. George Carlin (NSFW)
May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits.
We’ll miss you George.
Update: Cynic’s Party has a fitting tribute:
George Carlin is irreplaceable, and our species will get dumber faster now that he’s gone.
They continue in signature Cynic’s Party fashion:
George Carlin would have kicked Ron Paul in the balls before beating him senseless [...]

Unofficial pinko cupcake finder and avid non-vegan Deanna swears by Sweet Avenue’s goods, so I am willing to take it on faith that you won’t [...]

Update: Here is video of the announcement from Tom Brokaw.
open thread madness!
Hi Pinko fans! so I’m headed out of town for the weekend to a little shack where i will do many green and sustainable and conscientiously hedonistic things and then be able to “blog” them Monday. Stirling is doing lots of WORK and raising a child and what-what and has a crazy weekend too. It [...]
Daily Kos: Obama Has Birthday, Parents
Read all about it here.
Some quick reactions:
Obama is a Leo. (In your face Capricorn!)
His mom was a dude. (Stanley???)
He was born is some crazy Muslim country named “Oahu”. (WTF???)
It turns out His middle name really isn’t Percival which totally blows a hole in my “Little Obama in the Welsh forests” joke. (just google it…)
Something for “Nothing”
D.C. rapper and Go-Go enthusiast Wale (think valet not whale) has a new mix tape out called “The Mix Tape About Nothing”. As you might have guessed from the title and cover art, it contains more than a few references to Seinfeld.
If you’re already skeptical, rest assured that Wale’s skill as a lyricist lends more [...]
Sustainability, NASCAR style
In stock-car country, a concern for matters like fuel efficiency and automotive emissions can be considered a sign of deviant sexual preference. Just one airbrushed #24 Jeff Gordon t-shirt can have carbon emissions exceeding most municipal airports. Nonetheless, when you’re an racecar engine builder like Bruce Crower (Man of the Future), you spend [...]
