ACORN 'Independent Advisory Council' Member Andy Stern Lets Loose on A
Last Wednesday, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis, in the wake of James O'Keefe's and Hannah Giles's embarrassing video barrage, went into damage control mode: As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees, I am, in consultation with ACORN’s Executive Committee, immediately ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN’s service programs until completion of an independent review.

SF Chronicle Blogger Waxes Religious Over Environmentalism
Earlier today I blogged about how a Baltimore Sun environment blog is urging readers to confess their most mortal "eco sin." Not to be outdone in the pious-sounding eco-rhetoric, the San Francisco Chronicle's Thin Green Line blog today warns tech geeks and video game aficionados against the original sin of technological advance:Technology, at times, offers a magic key into the environmental…
Sunday Obamathon Turns Into Media Critique; Says Press is Perpetuating
They say you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you. But the 44th President of the United States doesn't seem to be worried about that. President Barack Obama, still with no fear of being overexposed, made the rounds on five Sunday morning talk shows on Sept. 20 to make another attempt at winning the hearts and minds over on his vague health care proposal. According to Obama, alleging he wasn't…
Poor 'Liberal Leaning' ACORN: AP Plays 'Pin the Blame on GOP
Leave it to the Associated Press to drive the establishment media's attempt to portray ACORN's serious impairment as almost entirely the product of the Republican Party. Never mind that Democrats control the Senate, which voted 83-7 to pull HUD funding from the group earlier this week, meaning that the vast majority of Democrats supported the measure. Never mind that the House, including about…

AP Report On Census Bureau's Firing of ACORN Ignores Second O'Keefe Vi
Early this morning (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I posted on the Associated Press's treatment of the firing of two employees at ACORN's Baltimore office. These employees were successfully stung by undercover filmmaker James O'Keefe, who posed as a pimp (one who said he has plans to use the money from his "enterprise" to run for Congress), and Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute. In a pair…
Maher Charges Racism Fuels Disrespect of Obama, Sees 'Subliminal Racis
Friday night on his HBO show, Bill Maher tried to discredit critics of President Barack Obama, including those concerned about his talk to school children, by smearing them as racists – before he pointed to a Drudge Report headline, “POLL HELL: OBAMA NEGS RISE,” as somehow an example of the ways “some of the right-wingers are always dropping subliminally racist messages.”Maher first took up…
AP Story On ACORN Sting Video Firings Contains De Facto Commercial (Up
Thursday night, the Associated Press reported on the Baltimore ACORN sting carried out by James O'Keefe of Andrew Breitbart's new BigGovernment.com web site. A paragraph near the end of the report is virtually a de facto commercial for the controversial group. As to the sting itself, in case you missed it -- in two devastating videos originally posted here that you must see, O'Keefe and Hannah…
Why I Love Charlie Sheen
So Charlie Sheen recently penned a fictitious conversation between himself and President Obama – one in which he questions our Commander-in-chief on the big 9/11 cover up. Yes, the star of Scary Movie 3 – and Scary Movie 4 – believes that the Bush/Cheney regime were behind the attack, and feels that our current President should investigate immediately, in an effort to answer a “bottomless warren…
The Hill Exposes Rep. Joe Wilson's 'NoDoz' Usage
At first I thought it must be an article from The Onion. Surely this couldn't be a legitimate news story.Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), who shouted "you lie!" at President Obama during his Wednesday night address to Congress, admitted to regularly consuming caffeine pills in 2007. It is unclear if Wilson still takes NoDoz, a brand of pill that contains 200 milligrams of caffeine a pop. By comparison,…

Joe Klein: Joe Wilson 'Vile', Besides 'Why Shouldn't' Illegals Be Cove
After plugging his latest column in a September 10 post on the magazine's Swampland blog, Time's Joe Klein (shown in file photo at right) pegged Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) as "vile" before defending taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants:On this whole question of whether illegal immigrants will be included in the plan, which caused the vile Congressman from South Carolina to shout "You…
A $2 Billion Chrysler Double-Cross? If So, It's Virtually Invisible
The Obama administration and its car-czar group appear to be intent on teaching someone who got in their way a brutal lesson. If there's another way to interpret what is going on involving the "Old Chrysler," the company's first-lien secured lenders, and the US Treasury, I want to know what it is.
