U.S.: ACORN’s top nut says she’s “outraged” by the pimp video

  • Any organization is not entirely perfect. I was outraged by it. Everyone should be, and I can understand how the Congress was also.
  • ACORN Chief organizer Bertha Lewis • On the video that completely decimated her organization’s reputation. She says that she’s looking into reforming the organization, and that anyone who’s “too stupid” to realize why stuff like this is a bad idea will be let go. In other news, Obama also favors an investigation into ACORN. Great job, wannabe pimps. • source

U.S.: In honor of John Edwards, Dave Matthews Band is today’s theme music

  • Apparently, reports are floating out that once John Edwards’ wife, who is battling cancer, died, he offered to marry his mistress Rielle Hunter and get DMB to play the wedding. Crash into me … baby, I’m a scumbag for you. Edwards, by the way, is close to admitting that he is in fact the father of Hunter’s child. Can you believe that this guy was gonna run for president last year?source

U.S.: You know David Paterson sucks when Obama asks him not to run

  • The New York governor hangs his head in shame. You know it sucks to be David Paterson right now. You’re legally blind AND you replaced a guy who frequented a high-priced call girl. But you’re still somehow doing worse than your predecessor. So much so that the Obama administration has asked you to not run in 2010, for fear of residual effects. You suck so much apparently, David, that you can’t be allowed to stay in office. Aww. It’ll be OK, man. source

U.S.: Austin’s police chief: I’m going after anonymous interweb trolls

  • A lot of my people feel it is time to take these people on. They understand the damage to the organization, and quite frankly, when people are willfully misleading and lying, they are pretty much cowards anyway because they are doing so under the cloak of anonymity.
  • Austin, Tx. police chief Art Acevedo • On his department’s decision to go after trolls on the Internet. On the Internet. Dude’s playing with fire by suggesting his department might investigate or even charge anonymous posters. Doesn’t he know what anonymous can do? • source

But it’s got the support of the FCC, which will propose new regulations on Monday. “It will be a big win for consumers if the FCC delivers strong net neutrality rules that apply across all technologies,”said Free Press policy director Ben Scott. source
