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.: ACORN and the Census: No longer working together

  • Glenn Beck strikes again. Thanks to this video and a bunch of other reasons, the U.S. Census has severed its relationship with community organizers ACORN. It was a number of things, but this video above, which shows the organization’s D.C. and Baltimore offices helping a woman pretending to be a prostitute, was the tipping point. “Their affiliation caused sufficient concern with the general public,” said Census Bureau spokesperson Stephen Buckner.source

Offbeat: A few Navy guys put their twist on “I’m On a Boat”

  • In a few comments, some are criticizing these Navy guys for actually daring to have a little fun when they’re stuck in the middle of the ocean working. We don’t see that problem at all. In fact, we hope that they’re doing this instead of working, because they look so hard in this video that you can’t imagine any pirates would dare come up to their boat. (Props to The Lonely Island for the original, of course.)source
