Dirty Red Commie

 Many of us here at Dirty Red Commie are adamant admirers of The Flaming Lips, just ask last.fm .  However, until now we weren't aware that the feeling is mutual:

Voters in Oklahoma have declared The Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize?" their state's new official rock song, but not if state Republicans, angered by bassist Michael Ivins' communist attire, have anything to say about it. Perhaps it was just a shout-out to his fans?

Rachel Maddow is obviously another honorary Commie.
