Tokio Hotel Watch, December.

Last February I blogged about meeting some Tokio Hotel fans outside of my office, which adjoins a New York music venue. The line was the longest I’d ever seen for a concert there, and these kids were EXCITED. Totally gothed-out, suspender clad and bleached-blonde, Tokio Hotel fans meant business. We got emails in droves from [...]

Friday Briefs: Breaking down the bailout.

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS. Sorry for the sporadic blogging! I’m in San Francisco at a conference (do any of you drink mate? We need to have a talk about this shit. Also how do you put accents on mate on a mac? Guh. I know how to make an umlaut. Sëe?) So are you following what’s [...]

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 [...]

Backstage at the Ron Paul revolution.

Of all the junkets, parties and press rooms I’ve been to in the last 11 days this is the first one to have good old fashioned sandwich meats. Frankly this may be the first event with any meat at all. I’m not sure what that means about Ron Paul and his agenda, but you can [...]

Sprayed in St.Paul

Well I haven’t found any gay Republicans yet; then again I haven’t really looked. Also I went to the bathroom before I left the hotel which lowers the odds dramatically. The main story from yesterday (besides Juno Palin) were the protests, and the extreme (and unnecessary) force of the Minneapolis-St. Paul police.
In 2000 I was [...]

Larry Craig Memorial Bathroom

I went there. It was everything I hoped it would be, and more. Below are two photos. The first is outside the bathroom where Idaho Senator Larry Craig had teh gay sex. The awesome thing is that the Republican National Convention has set up a welcome station RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM where you can ask [...]

Happy Birthday Stirling!

As most of you know my good friend Stirling and I are co-collaborators on Pinko. Today Stirling turns 11 29, and I was hoping we could all join in wishing him a happy birthday. Sure, Stirling isn’t perfect. I don’t know anyone who wants the terrorists to win more than he does, and I’m pretty [...]

Holy shit, blimps!

Is there any single brand in the world more fucked by one incident than blimps are by the Hindenberg crash? Planes survive hijackings and explosions, cruise ships survived the Titanic, but this morning I read this bit in the Times about how blimps (”airships”) are making a comeback because of rising fuel costs and concerns [...]

That’s a lot of extremely old look.

The expert speaks:

“Give him some color. I’d give him better-fitting suits — Hugo Boss, John Varvatos. I mean, I will say, he’s a man of a certain age, so at least he’s cleaned up and polished.” — Washington native and “Project Runway” personality Tim Gunn, 54, telling New York magazine how he would boost Republican [...]

I had sex with Ron Paul and Alan Keyes.
