Ace links to another blog, that speculates the Breitbart breaking story will be about NEA.
From Patterico's Pontifications comes this:
If I were a betting man, I’d be betting big that the upcoming bombshell will relate to the NEA. You read it here first.
But I think Breitbart’s overarching target is even bigger than that: the national media as a whole. Just as the media was caught flatfooted by the ACORN scandal, so too will they be rocked back on their heels by the next bombshell.
Kudos to Andrew Breitbart. He’s making it fun to be a conservative again.

Chavez Predicts the Death of America:
Chavez’s university speech was in stark contrast to his previous visits which tended to be low-key in tone and reduced the public exposure of the Venezuelan dictator’s fiery rhetoric.
The growing authoritarianism in Russia and Moscow’s increasing militarism receives Chavez support. The burgeoning power of Russia will be an important element in the new world which Chavez believes is being born, as the power and influence of the United States ends.
In a statement directed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chavez said that at their initial meeting in 2001, “we were in the old world” – when the U.S. was strong, in contrast to the present situation, in which “another world has arose” as the U.S. declines. Chavez demonstrated his commitment to world revolution as he declared to Putin, ” we need to accelerate this step.”This is the governmental system which Chavez wants to see dominant, and this is the system that Moscow and Chavez are fostering in Latin America.
Our leaders must understand that we are the targets of a neo-communist offensive. Chavez and company are not hiding what they are doing, we are merely ignoring this threat – to our peril and that of our children, and their children.

NEA is small change unless they’re going to connect yet another dot.
Beck has been laying groundwork all last week from the whistleblowing room to asking members in the WH to call him. His last show was pointing to Obama. I don’t think he’ll go there yet but he’ll have a bomb in regards to the commie direction Obama wants to take us. There’s too many loose ends at this time.
I think it’ll be something to do with ACORN, HOUSING, (the Sanlers BANK, and the Sandlers.
The Sandlers (and Soros) have been dumping MILLIONS into ACORN. WHY???
EXCELLENT ARTICLE:

It's Wicks.
Don’t DO that!!
I got Swimmer’s Contraction just from seeing all
those teeth!
I’ll probably have nightmares later.
SEIU is joined at the hip with ACORN so they could zero in on them but I think it’s a little too early.
What’s SRM?
So..... let’s think about this..... ACORN kicked out of the census, funds withdrawn, due to Beck’s expose.
Now WTF have you done that we should be so grateful for, while you talk sh*t about Beck?

Heh heh. Nice save!
“And if you think that my fear regarding the arts becoming a tool of the state is still unfounded, I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally?…bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely… “
Is the hair on your arms standing up yet?”

Could this be the bombshell—or just the first strand thereof?
Who is this Marshall guy?
I don’t think that’s the bombshell.
Telling Stories, Building Movements: Can a Film Change Wal-Mart?
By Lisa Smithline, Executive Director, Brave New Foundation
al-Mart is America’s largest employer. Rather than set the gold standard in corporate responsibility, it is defining the coal standard, leading business in a race to the bottom.
Is the Wal-Mart way the price of the new American dream? Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, the newest documentary project from Brave New Films, the directing and producing team of Robert Greenwald (Outfoxed, Uncovered) attempts to answer this question.
Greenwald’s film is a targeted, unfiltered look at the real Wal-Mart, as it contrasts with the carefully manufactured corporate image it strives to project in its advertising campaigns, corporate sponsorships, and even reality television shows. The film is a powerful, emotional, entertaining, and visual means to jumpstart a massive public awareness effort, which can (and will) lead to a demand for policy change in the way the company conducts business in the U.S. and across the globe.
Film as an Organizing Tool
How often have organizations focused on social change complained that the media is ignoring their story? In a media age dominated by celebrity trials and missing white girls, it is a constant battle to break through the noise. Brave New films targets under-reported issues that are ripe for a larger audience with a simple model:
1. Make a film that can win people’s hearts and minds.
2. Build a broad alliance in support of a worldwide grassroots film release.
3. Use media buzz, a multi-platform distribution plan and guerilla media strategy to reach as many people as possible with the film.
4. Activate the inspired and motivated to take action, strengthening our allies with an infusion of new energy to support each organization’s long-term goals.

Local Power Can Change Wal-Mart: The ACORN and Jobs with Justice Organizing Strategy
By Sarita Gupta, Jobs with Justice, and Helene O’Brien, ACORN
al-Mart, the country’s largest employer has a profound and widespread impact on Americans’ daily lives. Wal-Mart provides us with $3.47 pairs of shorts, as well as affecting the taxes we pay, the wages we earn, the streets we drive on, the air we breathe, and the crime we experience.
To change this company’s practices will require a movement that is broad enough to confront the company across the country (at least), but deeply rooted in the local communities that are the source of our strength. ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and Jobs With Justice have come together as two national networks of grassroots organizations to build such a movement. Our goal is to share winning strategies, build power in local communities to win concrete victories, and develop innovative grassroots strategies that engage consumers in a meaningful way. This struggle targets Wal-Mart, but is also larger than Wal-Mart – it is about setting and defending standards in our communities for the long haul.

Two-Way Street: Labor-Community Partnership and SEIU’s Hospital Accountability Project
By Will Tanzman
hen SEIU strategists started making a plan in 2001 to organize the hospital industry in Chicago, they saw an incredible opportunity in the infrastructure of community organizations that already existed. Chicago is the original stomping ground of Saul Alinsky, whose legacy continues to this day. The city boasts several dozen vibrant, progressive grassroots organizations, each capable of mobilizing from fifty to five hundred people for whatever campaigns and actions the groups’ leaders decide to pursue. Over the past three decades, organizers have built many of the relationships and networks necessary for coordinated action by progressive and working-class communities.
