Writer Charles London, a friend and sometimes Pinko contributor, has covered some of the violence and unrest in Kenya and Rwanda. And the tone and tenor of the Presidential election here coming from the McCain campaign remind him a great deal of both of those situations, which of course turned tragic.
One of the first things [...]
Yikes. A colleague passed me this article from MSNBC.com about tent cities popping up in Reno, Seattle, Fresno, Chattanooga and a number of other major U.S. Cities. This is something that predates the current crisis this week (the economic downturn isn’t moving quite that fast) but is mostly made up of people who have already [...]
Every year, thousands of young people sign on for low-paying, backbreaking work as community organizers. These are Democrats and Republicans, partisan jobs and issue-based jobs, secular jobs and often positions filled by churches, social service organizations and charities. The term “community organizer” can be a little vague, but basically it’s a role in which you [...]
I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear right now. I just think you ought to know. Obama is going to lose.
We are going to have the most conservative Supreme Court we have ever had. We are going to lose the right to an abortion. We are going to find ourselves [...]
Everyone has been watching the Olympics this weekend, ourselves included. But while we’ve been speculating whether Michael Phelps shaves, waxes, or is just freakishly hairless, the world has been going on without us. Here is a look at some of the things you may have missed.

I was just over at buffalochip.com looking for more info on John McCain’s Sturgis Keynote Address, and maybe a few nudie pictures [...]
John McCain has a new ad out hitting Obama for not caring about our troops. John McCain on the other hand is always there for the troops… unless they need body armor or whatever.
The kicker of the ad appears to be that while Obama had time to give speeches in front of hundreds of thousands [...]
In our several months of producing Pinko, I’ve learned a thing or two. Mention Vanessa Williams: traffic goes up. Write high-minded posts highlighting awesome non-profits: traffic goes down. Etc. One thing I know for sure, though, is not to fuck with the holocaust. Today in Israel Barack Obama visited Yad Vashem, the extremely solemn Israeli [...]
As we speak Ben is out getting shit faced with Mike Gravel (again!) at the Yearly Kos Netroots Nation convention in Austin. While he is away it has fallen on me to keep you, our loyal readers, up to date on the latest news. Here is a look back at some of the things we [...]
So at this point I’ve basically come to terms with the polar bears dying out and the Atlantic Ocean destroying Brooklyn and deserts overtaking Greenland but this is pretty fucked up:
A new study, released yesterday, suggests that it’s not just polar bears, ice caps, and farmers who ought to be on edge about global [...]
