POPSRules For Democrats Are Just Different… For Some Reason What happens if the Democrat President nominates you for Treasury Secretary (the guy in charge of the IRS), and you get caught not paying your taxes? You get confirmed, and your power is continually expanded. What happens if you’re the Democrat Governor of Kansas, and you get caught cheating on your taxes? You get named to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. What happens if the adult daughter of the Democrat vice president is videotaped snorting coke, or the adult son of a Democrat Vice president is busted for drug possession? The MSM suddenly decide that the “children” of politicians are off-limits. Sorry, Bristol, Jenna, and Barbara.

POPSCarville on Clark-McCain Feud Too funny. The former Clintonista has Clark's -- who's a former Clintonista as well -- back. For the record, Carville's right. The lead character in Top Gun was based on Cunningham . Helluva pilot, crappy politician.

POPSEMAIL: Tell Congress: Sign The Earmark Reform Pledge! Current signatories as of 3/13/08: Senators Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) Reps. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), John Campbell (R-Calif.), Tom Feeney (R-Fla.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), Tom Price (R-Ga.), Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), and John Shadegg (R-Ariz.). Thanks to the more than 25,000 e-mails CCAGW members like you sent to Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid last Friday pulled the Climate Security Act after falling a dozen votes short of the 60 needed to end debate and bring the bill up for a vote!

POPSAbuse of Power: How Randy "Duke" Cunningham did it! The U.S. Navy only fighter ace of the Vietnam war (along side hi RIO William "Irish" Driscoll) rose to become a legend in the fighter community and served as the inspiration for the movie Top Gun, then he went to Congress and was shot down by corruption and scandal. How the mighty have fallen.

POPSCongressional corruption ignored In spite of the blatant appearance of corruption, no major publication has picked up on the story, the Senate Ethics Committee has reportedly let her slip by, and she is now chairing the Senate Rules Committee, which puts her in charge of making sure her colleagues act ethically and avoid the sorts of conflicts of interest with which she is personally and so obviously familiar.

POPSFunny: Rep Lahood's defense of Hastert It's funny that Lahood defends Hastert by naming two Republicans Hastert appointed to chair House committees, and then removed after they turned out to be crooks. (not to mention Delay)

POPSIraq, Turkey, what's the difference? A Republican running for the seat vacated by the disgraced Duke Cunningham visited Iraq and posted this picture on his website, showing that it proved life was peaceful in Baghdad. Problem is, it was actually a photo taken in Turkey . The candidate owned up to the mistake and blamed it on his webmaster, but I thought our own Invictus would find this humorous.
