Politics: ACORN’s suing those filmmakers for making their lives suck

  • And really, they should. Those guys were jerks. ACORN has been battered, beaten, and shamed in the press and politically. And it was all for some out-to-shame videotapes. Now, they’re fighting back. The organization has filed a lawsuit against filmmakers James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles along with Breitbart.com LLC, the Andrew Breitbart-led company that owns BigGovernment.com. ACORN says the duo never obtained consent from the now-fired employees they showed helping with their faux-prostitution scheme in Baltimore. It’ll be interesting to see where the suit goes. source

Culture: You know swine flu is bad when Dr. Sanjay Gupta has it

  • It is worth pointing out the irony of a medical reporter getting influenza type A, which was then ultimately confirmed as H1N1.
  • Dr. Sanjay Gupta • Describing in great detail how he managed to get swine flu (a.k.a. H1N1) while in Afghanistan. Gupta notes that the disease was no joke: “I am not someone who gets sick, really ever. And this was the sickest I have ever been.” Bet he’s regretting not taking that spot in the Obama administration now. • source
