The American Civil Liberties Union sent out an emergency appeal to card-carrying members and donors this week after realizing it is a victim of Bernard Madoff's self-confessed Ponzi scheme.

Every cloud has a silver lining.
Too bad it wasn’t even more (ie. NYU or NYU Law school).

The Lord works in mysterious ways indeed.
I’ll have to admit that, so far, I’m feeling no sympathy for any of the “victims”. They all appeared to be very greedy. Of course, the only way a Ponzi scheme will work is if there are plenty of greedy people with money who want more.
“...reproductive freedom work...”
PTL and pass the ammunition!
Christmas gifts come in strange and unexpected methods.
The ACLU was created by the American Communist Party in 1919 to defend Communists arrested during the Red Scare after WW I conducted by the Wilson Administration.
The Communists are an equal opportunity religion destroyer, as witness Stalins purge of the Jews in the 1950s. If he had not died when he had, Stalin planned another Holocaust.
The fact communists started it has nothing to do with the fact that Jewish lawyers took it over.
I really like great Christmas gifts, especially those that keep on giving.
I was hoping for a feel-good story this morning.
There is a Santa Claus.
Congress will bail them out along with allthe other fat cat libs who lost money to Madoff. Just watch.
I thought that was the Masons. Sheesh!
The ACLU is as much anti-Jew as anti-Christian, if the Jew is faithful to his beliefs. ACLU Jews are apostate.
