CHANGING THE WAY YOU LIVE

Making politics part of your life is easy: Tell yourself that politics is sexy! Politics is fun! Politics will make you beautiful! See? You lied. You've just made politics part of your life.

Shop or invest your politics. Tour Boycott News or study up on social investing at Goodmoney's somewhat outdated, but serviceable site. Party your politics. You can throw a party to raise money for any cause you like—a candidate, an organization or, take a page from poet Nikki Giovanni, and throw a {rent party} or a chittlin' strut to support your favorite neighborhood group.

Enjoy your politix.

Take them seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously.

Count on VAGUE for information with attitude.
