Racism, Sexism and Mike Myers

No, we’re not talking about The Love Guru. Although, if we had the intestinal fortitude to sit through it I’m sure we’d have some gripes there as well. No, we’re talking about John McCain’s latest internet video.
The video, which stoops lower then even the record breaking lows of the campaign ads that proceeded it, features [...]

Somebody is giving away Free Tibets?

His Holiness, The 14th Dalai Lama is speaking tonight at Radio City Music Hall. For those of you not currently stalking me, that’s right across the street from my office. It’s probably Radio City’s biggest event since that Sex and The City premiere that I also totally didn’t get invited to.
When I went out to [...]

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 [...]

The White Working Class.

Lost in all the coverage last night about how shocking it is that 33% of Hillary’s supporters in Kentucky would support John McCain in the Fall instead of Obama is the fact that, in 2004, 42% of white working class Democrats voted for George Bush over John Kerry. Same thing in 2000, give or take [...]

Britta Phillips: The Pinko Interview

The voice behind “Luna” and “Dean and Britta” sounds off about canvassing for Barack Obama and … a sequel to Satisfaction?

Gay Marriages for Everyone!

Just as an FYI, the California Supreme Court overturned their ban on gay marriage today. If you bump in to Suze Orman on your way to the chapel, be sure to tell her Pinko Magazine says “wassup”.

Watching Me Watching You…

File this under DIY ingenuity, Big Brother style surveillance, or both.
Unsigned UK band The Get Out Clause has found a way to make a music video on the cheap and draw attention to the 13 million (13 million!) CCTV cameras currently monitoring English countrymen.
The band set up and played their song in front of [...]

oh, homos!

I didn’t know what to blog about today. Partly it’s because I read so much that made me angry; today I saw this bit on the Human Rights Campaign announcing their list of Senate endorsements for 2008, and I remembered: THIS is why single-issue politics, and why mainstream gay activism in general, is so totally [...]

Four (off-peak) minutes to change the world.

In 1999 I joined Working Assets long distance. I did it almost entirely because they sent you two free coupons for Ben & Jerrys with each bill, and who wouldn’t like that? In 2002 I switched to their cellphone service. In the early Wild West days of socially-responsible living, Working Assets was a gamble. It [...]
