Patterns

This idea that white people aren’t going to vote for Obama in the general election is very troubling. It’s also built on very faulty logic. No Democrat nominee has been able to capture a majority of the white votes in the general election since before 1992. (Read that line again, slowly.) This is because democrats don’t traditionally win Presidential races by getting a majority of white voters.

John Hagee, It may be time to fire your publicist.

John Hagee, pastor at the San Antonio-based Cornerstone Church and President of Global Evangelism Television has built an entire empire out of saying bizarre and wildly offensive things about Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Palestinians and African Americans. He once even held a “slave auction” at his church. Despite all of this, he simply can not get [...]

Obama’s Big Mistake

On Friday Barack Obama spoke at a closed-press fundraiser in California where he said some pretty harsh things about former and current President Bush as well as former President Clinton’s handling of issues that effect the rural poor.
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, [...]

The “Insignificance” of Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson, former U.S. Congressman, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, former U.S. Secretary of Energy and current governor of New Mexico has endorsed Barack Obama for President. An endorsement from a politician (and former competitor) with such an extensive resume should be a huge deal at this point in the campaign. There is [...]

I’m not a racist or anything, but…

Editor’s Note: After making a string of controversial remarks recently, Geraldine Ferraro has announced in a letter to Hillary Clinton that she is resigning from her campaign finance committee. Pinko has obtained an exclusive copy of this unedited letter.
Dear Hil,
What the fuck did I say? I read your open letter from January when you reminded [...]

Black People Have It Easy

Geraldine Ferraro, feminist icon turned apparent race-baiting klanswoman (klansperson?), threw on her nicest hood Monday and had some “interesting” things to say about Barack Obama:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position… if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to [...]

Hitchens, Hot Dogs, Chicago 10. I’m SO angry grrrr!

Went to Vanity Fair’s premiere last night of the Chicago 10, a film about the legendary protests and violence at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Though I disagreed with many of the choices (especially the choice to involve Ethan Hawke in any way, particularly in anime form) it’s important to see. Our moment in [...]

ELECTION 2008: Officially Retarded.

I was about halfway through reading about the latest bullshit, batshit crazy, all-time low for the 2008 Election when it occurred to me how much Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s lead strategist, looks like Larry Drake who played Benny on L.A. Law. (And Dr. Giggles! Best movie ever.) Campaign 2008 is now officially retarded, as the [...]

Who will run the trains? Europe is totally doomed.

There is a new film out this week by insane, racist Nazis Christian Conservatives warning of the coming “Demographic Winter” in Europe, a phenomenon in which the “liberalization” of sexuality (i.e. women getting jobs, gays getting gay, etc.) has precipitated a decline in European birthrates that is basically going to wipe out the entire continent. [...]

McCain’s Actionable Item

Last night, while interviewing Michelle Obama, Larry King asked a question that neither I, nor Michelle, saw coming. Larry asked her what she thought about talk that, if nominated, John McCain might pick Condoleezza Rice as his running mate. The typically composed Ms. Obama was momentarily taken aback. Maybe she found this idea as ridiculous [...]
