Joementum Redux

With all this talk about Joe, the unlicensed republican Plumber, we’ve lost site of that other Joe. You know, the most important Joe in the universe.
Joe Lieberman.
Here is Joe out on the stump today:
“We turned the corner in the debate last night didn’t we?,” Lieberman asked over 1,000 people gathered at a sports complex here. [...]

Obama and the environment.

Some essential reading today is this piece from Plenty about Barack Obama’s environmental philosophy. Did you know he was an organizer for NYPIRG!? Poor guy. In any case it’s a great look at his philosophy of practicality, and how that could conflict with some priorities of the environmental community.

Tuesday Briefs: Three weeks.

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS: The conversation now has clearly shifted to an Obama win, which makes me very uncomfortable this soon but the numbers DO look good and John McCain just looks so totally lost. One thing to watch for is an effort by the right starting now to paint a potential Obama win as “stolen,” the [...]

30 Minutes with Barack; what would you do?

Sen. Obama is planning to use some of his huge wads of cash to buy 30 minute chunks of primetime television on October 29th to address the American people directly. Many warily speculate that this will be much like Ross Perot’s 1992 TV addresses (embedded below!) where he freaks everyone out but no fear … [...]

Pinko Door to Door: The truth about phone banks.

Ed Note: Fearless PinkoJenn is still in Wisconsin working feverishly for THE ONE Obama. And folks she NEEDS our snarky McCain phone banking scripts to keep her sane!
I’ve talked to racists, anti-communist Russian immigrants, and devout anti-abortionists.   I’ve listened to people rattle off complains while I “promise to report their concerns directly to [...]

Obama embedding ads in video games?

(1) This is awesome. (2) They DO have shitloads of money! (3) Do these people vote? Like, do they leave the house? Gamers unite and hit the comments section! From GamePolitics.com:
“We’ve only gotten one report of this … but an Xbox Live gamer who goes by Dragunov765 has posted photos of what appear to [...]

Friday: The end of the world?

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS: I was in Chinatown this morning and there was an elderly Chinese woman in front of the Post Office clubbing a rat to death with her walking stick. It was worse because the stick had one of those safety pad things on the bottom so she was clubbing it with relative kindness. I [...]

Pinko Door to Door: Paul in Wisconsin.

Loyal Pinko commenter and Bay Area based political strategist extraordinaire Paul Hogarth spent last week in Wisconsin campaigning for Obama. Wisconsin is shaping up as a real battleground. Al Gore barely carried the state in 2000 by 5,700 votes; in 2004 John Kerry won by 11,000. This year Wisconsin is home to a range of voter [...]

The Rabid Tricks of Republicans in Wisconsin

Editors Note: This is the first in a serious of dispatches from brave Pinko readers and contributors who are out campaigning in the days leading up to November 4th. Jenn is in Wisconsin and we love her! 
Well everybody, I was supposed to start posting my dispatches from the cool, cheesy, swinging state of Wisconsin last [...]

Tuesday: Oh no!

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS. It’s ugly out there. “Kill him!” a Palin supporter yelled about Obama at a rally in Florida yesterday, and she said nothing. “He’s a terrorist” a McCain supporter yelled about Obama at a rally in New Mexico. McCain cringed, but he could have just been having a stroke. The overall: with Obama ahead [...]
