Congress has read my list and has decided to do something about it.
Going after ACORN may be like shooting fish in a barrel lately — but jumpy lawmakers used a bazooka to do it last week and may have blown up some of their longtime allies in the process.
The congressional legislation intended to defund ACORN, passed with broad bipartisan support, is written so broadly that it applies to “any organization” that has been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws, campaign finance laws or filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency. It also applies to any of the employees, contractors or other folks affiliated with a group charged with any of those things.
In other words, the bill could plausibly defund the entire military-industrial complex. Whoops.
After Congress defunds ACORN for indulging two rich whites kids, they’re going to go after Lockheed Martin and Northrop Gumman for fraud; Blackwater for weapon smuggling, child prostitution, and murder; Halliburton and KBR for murder, fraud, human trafficking, and prostitution; Dyncorp for sex slavery; and Triple Canopy for fraud and murder.
