A MIGHTY OAK IS AILING

There sure is a lot of animosity towards ACORN.

So much, in fact, that I feel its effectiveness has been severely compromised.

It is true that a mighty oak grew from a small acorn. But there has been some blight. A nice metaphor..

House and Senate Take Aim at Acorn

Apparently the NYTimes doesn't treat the word as an acronym.

Of course most of this anger and scorn is from the right and I am sure that a lot of the drama is political theater.

But I do understand the upset and, in fact, I believe that ACORN should probably not be getting federal funds as long as it works so hard on the partisan issues. But maybe this is unconstitutional.

I guess my beef is that they are so big and so poorly manaaged that they are rife with bad decisions and scandalous behavior.

I would rather have them be advocates operating politically for their clients and let it go at that.

Or maybe I don't know what I am talking about. But that is where I come out after all this bullshit has been going around.

UPDATE: Well, that's the end of that.
