Where will the pimps and ‘HOs” go now to seek financial advice?

Drudge had it in bright red a few minutes ago about Senate voting to cut off housing funds to ACORN and he pulled it? WTF!

Dammit. Just when I was hoping to get a loan to open the meth lab I’ve been dreaming of. LOL

Earlier today, I heard that the Federal Census would no longer be taken by ACORN.

LOL! I heard through the grapevine that they’ll be shedding their ACORN T-shirts and going back to their old Che’ with hammer and sickle T-shirts. They’ll be easy to find.

“Earlier today, I heard that the Federal Census would no longer be taken by ACORN.”

Most likely it’ll be done by “COI” — the new name of ACORN the following their reorganization. Same thugs, idiots, communists and criminals. Different name.

It would seem the message got through over the weekend.

ACORN can bring the Obamacorns down. This is why MSM will not touch it. They will try to make it go away.

There are a lot of things to be shocked about in those videos, but certainly one of the most shocking is the cavalier way they went about dispensing this advice, apparently feeling they weren’t doing anything wrong, morally or legally.

“Beck is airing a new tape tomorrow that he says is worst than the other tapes. I say A Tape A Day Until The Acorn Goes Away!”

It’s remarkable how a young man and young woman, with fairly cheesy props, and a camera were able to have such a huge effect on government. There’s a great lesson in that.

I was thinking as I was watching the videos from New York, this isn't the first time they have given such advice. Maybe not the exact scenario, but more generally, like how to avoid taxes, how to deceive the mortgage company, how to operate a business illegally, how to launder money, and the list goes on...

Yep. I don’t think my own ACCOUNTANT could spout all that advice without first thinking about it.
