    What a convenient moment to announce this.

    If they think this paltry news will take any heat off the health care issue they are sorely mistaken. :jayzus:

    ACORN shutting down on April Fool's Day is poetic.

    Looks like the DNC will have to rely solely on the black panthers for their voter intimidation, good thing no one takes them seriously.

    Big deal. This will spawn 2-3 other organizations just like it with the same people involved. We weren't born yesterday (except for Liet who thinks it was all caused by the good humored folk at ACORN playing along with a joke).
