POPSMyanmar and McCain - the Dirty Connection John McCain has become linked to the military junta of Myanmar at an embarrassing time, as one of his top aides was caught working for dictatorship.

POPSProgressives More Coherent Than Democrats The analysis in this article astounds me, and gives me some hope. Its essential message is this: In terms of how they cosponsor bills in the Senate, separating Senators into Democrats and non-Democrats doesn't make much sense. Separating Senators into progressives and non-progressives, as defined by the Progressive Patriots legislative scorecard, does.

POPSNo Playboy For American Troops! Republican killjoy Congressman Paul Broun has joined with 16 other Republican members of the House of Representatives to try to ban American soldiers from buying Playboy Magazine. It's amazing to me that what with the rising death toll in Iraq, the American economy going down the drain, and climate change rearing its ugly head to devastate Americans' livelihoods, the Republicans think that the big problem facing America is that its young soldiers, exhausted and on the verge of cracking from years on end on fighting for their lives, want to look at pictures of beautiful women. Could they possibly get more out of touch?

POPSLoren Davis and McCain Satanic Symbols John McCain uses a 5 pointed star in his campaign logo. McCain's supporters use slurs against Barack Obama from Loren Davis. Loren Davis Ministries says that a 5 pointed star is a sign of Satan's followers.

Hoo boy. That seems weird, doesn't it? That's because the politics of John McCain's right wing supporters has become contorted into grotesque forms as a result of its attempt to avoid the obvious truth: John McCain's politics of war and religious fervor have failed America.

POPSFrank Marshall Davis and Barack Obama What's the truth about poet Frank Marshall Davis and Barack Obama? It's nothing so alarming as what the right wing activists want to make it out to be. Barack Obama talked to Frank Marshall Davis a few times when Obama was a teenager, three decades after Frank Marshall Davis left the American Communist Party. Frank Marshall Davis died over 20 years ago. THAT is what Republican activists call Obama's "ties to Communism". Pardon me if I'm not impressed.
