ACORN, president Obama's favorite "community action" group (which is infamous for multiple voter registration frauds), is slated to receive billions of dollars of government stimulus money to help enable their "good works." But what kind of good works?

As a hidden camera report shows, ACORN's Baltimore office helped arrange a home loan for a pimp and a prostitute (actually investigators) to set up a whorehouse...and then gave additional information about how to take tax deductions for underage girls brought illegally from El Salvador who would be forced to "turn tricks."

ACORN first denied everything, then fired the two women involved, claiming they were rare "bad apples" in the group. But now, the same undercover investigators have released video of ACORN's Washington DC office giving similar advice, and having no problem whatsoever with enabling (and helping fund) a child prostitution ring. Oops!

Update: In these strange days of Hope n' Change, authorities in Maryland have examined the undercover tape for criminal activity...and are considering prosecuting the undercover filmmakers instead of the ACORN officials who offered advice and encouragement on fraud, kidnapping, child prostitution, and tax evasion.

Busy September

Eight years ago, everything changed. For those of us who remember, it will never change back - nor should it.

Take time today to think again of the victims and heroes of 9/11, and the many men and women who have fought and died to protect us and others around the world from the horrors of terrorist acts and radical ideologies.

And think too about those who would weaken our country in the face of those threats, and ask "why?"

Media Buzz

The president's healthcare speech was hardly the "game changer" that mainstream media had been promising, but was at least amusing for those who enjoy the challenge of parsing political jargon. He "guaranteed" that nothing in his bill will require you to change your current insurance plan...but forgot to mention that his bill would force all insurance plans (and their costs) to change radically.

Obama emphatically said that talk of "death panels" was "a lie, plain and simple" - and if there's one thing the president hates, it's any lie that's plain and simple. His plan will unavoidably lead to rationing of life-extending medical services for seniors. The semantics of whether or not the decision is made by a "death panel" won't matter much to the old woman given a painkiller instead of a pacemaker.

Finally, the president said that if anyone misrepresents his healthcare bill, "we'll call you out on it!" Better put the Congressional Budget Office and the Associated Press on speed dial, Mr. President, because they're calling you a liar - plain and simple.

Flashback from the Hope n' Change Cartoon Vault (6/21/09): The president also demanded that people who have chosen not to buy health insurance will be fined (up to $3800)...

Bonus: From the Hope n' Change Gift Shoppe, a free poster commemorating the one true statement made during the president's entire speech!

The Audacity of Soap

To help prevent the spread of swine flu, the president has courageously come out in favor of washing your hands. He is also expected to appoint a "Soap Czar" as soon as he can find a communist that Glenn Beck hasn't heard of.

Liberals are gleefully pointing out that the president's school speech was entirely harmless, and that lunatic conservatives had wildly over-reacted. But...

The controversy could have been ended immediately by a release of the speech's text. Yet, the text wasn't released for days after parents and school districts started complaining. Plenty of time to do some editing and rewriting...and possibly about 12 minutes worth of shortening.

A Deafening Silence

The Lockerbie bomber blew Pan Am flight 103 out of the sky, killing 270 innocent people including 189 US citizens - the most deadly attack on Americans prior to 9/11. Now, after serving a prison term of less than two weeks per victim, the U.K. has released the bomber to a hero's welcome in Libya...in return for a better deal on oil.

Now, we've learned that president Obama was kept fully informed of the exchange before it happened, and did nothing to stop it.

This president has made it clear that, in his mind, there is no war on terror...and that no terrorist should be made to feel fear or lasting discomfort.

He didn't specifically say that terrorists should enjoy hero's welcomes and parades. But he has made it possible.

Finger Painting

A pro-Obamacare rally staged by members of MoveOn.org got out of hand (literally) when one of the liberal protestors attacked a 65-year-old bystander and bit his finger off. The remains of the finger were found because, like the president's own healthcare stance, the offender had bitten off more than he could chew. Unfortunately, the finger could not be reattached because the levels of bacteria in the human mouth made infection a certainty.

The Obamacare Biter remains at large, and reports that MoveOn.org is changing its name to MunchOn.org have not been confirmed.
