Another Thing
I'm not really interested in defending ACORN, but the sanctimony of their enemies really irks me.
If we're going to start denying funding to organizations that screw up, fine. And if John Boehner wants to rant about corrupt organizations, he should go right ahead.
But, unless I missed a story I'm pretty sure the GOP wouldn't have let me miss, ACORN hasn't electrocuted anyone or shot up a public square full of innocent people.
I think, if we're in a rush to cancel payments to bad organizations, we should start with the ones that are actually killing people, among them our own soldiers, and only later get to the ones that give poor people advice on how to cheat on their taxes the way rich folk do.
I guess I'm just funny that way.
