POPSWhat Color Is Your Elephant? With Republican running so far behind the Democratic Party in fundraising, it's no wonder the $150,000 spent on Sarah Palin's wardrobe caused a big fuss. However, the GOP has been making a lot of questionable purchases including a thousand 11-ounce chocolate elephants.

POPSBarry Goldwater's Granddaughter: Why McCain Has Lost Our Vote
Also from the source: My grandfather (Paka) would never suggest denying a woman's right to choose. My grandmother co-founded Planned Parenthood in Arizona in the 1930's, a cause he supported. I'm not sure about how he would feel about marriage based on same-sex orientation. I think he would feel that love and respect for ones privacy is what matters most, not the intolerance and poor judgment displayed by McCain over the years. Paka respected our civil liberties and passed on the message that that we should conduct our lives standing up for the basic freedoms we hold so dear. Nothing about McCain, except for maybe a uniform, compares to the same ideology of what Goldwater stood for as a politician. The McCain/Palin plan is to appear diverse and inclusive, using women and minorities to push an agenda that makes us all financially vulnerable, fearful, and less safe. Nothing about the Republican ticket offers the hope America needs to regain its standing in the world

POPSIt's Not Who Votes That Counts... Historical note: Stalin never called himself Josef Stalin; he was known only as "Comrade Stalin". It was a common thing for Slavic political activists to adopt one-word pseudonyms. Similarly, there was no Vladimir Lenin or Josip Tito. Vladimir Ulyanov was First Comrade Lenin (his party card number was #1) and Josip Broz was Marshal Tito.

POPSPowell-As-Traitor Cartoon Receives Condemnation Cartoonists from all shades of the political spectrum: left, right and center, have been close to unanimous in agreeing that this is, in the words of Matt Bors, one of the "...top ten worst political cartoons ever created. Since time began. Hands down.” Even Michelle Malkin, who is so far to the right that she can't walk without spinning around, said, "It’s a mistake to attribute Powell’s endorsement primarily to some kind of race loyalty." It's not even much of a cartoon, as the images are from the top of the list of Google image searches for "Benedict Arnold" and "white flag".

POPSObama & Cheney - Kissing Cousins? - No and Yes This sort of thing happens when you go back far enough. It's been said that most US presidents are distantly related to the British royal family. I have two presidential relatives in one branch of my own family tree. I wonder, though, how the people who have been needling Obama about his middle name and making jokes about "Obama bin Laden are going to react to this.
