Does John McCain have a sex yacht problem?

Some people know that Raffaello Follieri as an Italian con-man who defrauded investors by pretending to be a real estate agent form the Vatican or some shit. Others know him as the dude who got a serious blow j from made out with then girlfriend Anne “Princess Diaries” Hathaway on his yacht.
Well, in a [...]

A time for Action! Sexy Vice Presidential Action!

According to an intelligence report being prepared for the next president, US dominance will decline in “political, economic and arguably, cultural arenas.” (Did we ever have dominance in cultural areas?) This is assuming, of course, the world isn’t swallowed by a black hole, destroyed by nuclear warfare in the Middle East, or reclaimed by God.
Isn’t [...]

5 Things that Have Nothing to Do with Sarah Palin (or Politics or Saving the World or Being a Better Person)

I have to level with you here. While we pride ourselves on being a “lifestyle magazine”, between now and November we will most likely look a hell of a lot like a political blog. I wish I could change that. I really do. But the fact is we have way too much crap to talk [...]

James Garner: No, I’m the original Maverick!

Dear John McCain,
In your latest campaign ad you claim that you are the original Maverick. What kind of bullshit is that?

John McCain proved that the entire Republican platform now consists of whining about Barack Obama. And rapper Nas proved that threating Bill O’Rielly with cannibalism actually counts as elevating the debate over at [...]

Mariska Hargitay makes tshirts.

I’m not sure what this has to do with activism, hedonism, politics or being a pinko commie but today was VERY tiring so I got home and was overjoyed to find a Law and Order, SVU marathon on TNT. Nothing like a sex crime and a little B.D. Wong to take the sting out of [...]

STOP THE FREAKIN’ PRESSES!!!

CNN is reporting that Scarlett Johansson has been personally emailing with Barack Obama about, among other things, the media’s obsession with trivial gossip.
Just take a minute to let that all sink in…

Best Comment Ever

A few months ago I wrote a post about the awesome and heavily hair-ironed band Tokio Hotel. Much to my surprise it probably remains the most trafficked Pinko post ever, largely because many thousands of excited fans have Google Alerts set for “Tokio Hotel,” which I am glad to “ping,” as they say. I’ve actually [...]

Quote of the day.

Joan Collins on fashion today:
