I get confused when people talk about the political ACORN because I work with this ACORN.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think they just were upset they couldn't create a scandal out of the thing ACORN actually does do-help poor people have a voice.

Not all of ACORN is political. The Housing corporation is a 501c3 and is not allowed to be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Absolutely.

Oh, "political ACORN" was shorthand for "ACORN that is discussed in political conversations."

I understand what you meant. I'm just pointing out that the two are often conflated and they aren't the same. We weren't even allowed to share pens or copier paper with the organizers.

Always Anti-fascist!
I feel like a cornerboy on The Wire saying this, but we *know* some of the banks and mortgage firms and whatever did worse shit than that, but most of them are bouncing back this year. (That doesn't mean they shouldn't keep their house clean, but I think there's a lot of Fautrage(tm dkos) at play here. Also selective enforcement.) It's like the drug laws, but with money.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And may I take this time to again acknowledge that Daisy Jane financial advice is made entirely of win and I would not be living in the palatial estates I am were it not for her.
I keep company files for seven years. Which means that just now am I able to start throwing things out, whoo!
But I keep personal files for about a year, except for taxes, which I have everything I ever filed. Including the books for those years. Probably not necessary, huh.
Man, I love my shredder.

Aw, thank you. I want to make a joke about corruption and me and ACORN and palatial estates, but I can't quite make the pieces fit.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The lack of perspective is what irritates me most with regard to ACORN. They operate on what, about $2 million a year budget? KBR get something like $12 BILLION mostly from Uncle Sam, files fraudulent claims with the DOD, gets the cash, does shoddy work which results in the electrocution of US soldiers and nobody makes a peep.
Two idiot employees of a small non-profit exercise poor judgement in an obvious scam job and it's proof that the entire Obama Administration is CORRUPT and EVIL.
