 On October 1st, 2009 California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced that an investigation had been opened into ACORN&#8217;s activities in California, resulting from undercover videos showing employees seemingly offering to assist the undercover film makers with human smuggling, child prostitution and even tax advice to boot.

 Some interesting battles breaking out on Twitter this AM, even if I say so myself - having played a big role in fueling them! No need to link all the back and forth, but it amounts to a&#0160;discussion about what works. The problem as I see it, is too many inside the Beltway Republicans have convinced themselves that they are all that.

 Just hours after Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa released a report Friday on their investigation into the abrupt firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin, the Obama White House gave the lawmakers a trove of new, previously-withheld documents on the affair. It was a twist on the now-familiar White House late-Friday release  ...

 Weeds is an interesting beast to talk about. Constantly evolving, this show was once simply about the concept of a housewife in the suburbs dealing marijuana to her neighbors.

 All of those horrible celebrators of death who completely misrepresented the Terry Schiavo case from EVERY angle -- moral, legal, legislative -- should take a look at this story (Drudge found it) about a man who was supposedly in a coma and an irreversible "persistent vegetative state" for 23 YEARS (!!!!!) while actually conscious all along.

 Two top Democrats say they want to impose a new tax on the wealthy to finance any increase in U.S. troops for the Afghanistan war. Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., chairman of the purse string-controlling House Appropriations Committee, is calling the idea a "war surtax." He said that just as the federal government is expected to pay for its proposed  ...

 For many people, it has become routine to go online to check out a map before traveling to a new place. But for blind people, Google maps and other visual mapping applications are of little use.
