LET'S HELP SEN. SHELBY !!!
As I have tried to convey on these internets previously, the Rule of Law is very important to me. It is especially important to me in the affairs of government because we have to trust a lot of other people to handle these affairs cost effectively, fairly, ethically, and honestly, among other things, and not necessarily in that order.
I heard Sen. Richard Shelby this monrning on Morning Joe demand investigations of ACORN.
I have to give you the FOX version:

FIFTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS !!!! over ten years those awful people were given. But seriously, folks, because of my respect for the Rule of Law I personally do not have any problem with investigating and prosecuting what appears to be wilful fraud of the government.
I mean come on, telling pimps how to hide Salvadoran teenage hookers in order to generate housing clients.At a minimum, I would say ACORN has some unusual probelms.
So I am willing to make a deal with Sen. Shelby, I will wholeheartedly support the ACORN investigations if he will wholeheartedly support vigorous investigation of the Bush Administration's activities related to the Iraq War.
Where only maybe a few trillion was lost.
How do these guys look at themselves in the mirror?
He will not get anywhere with this.
We need to investigate Shelby.

DD you are right.
I guess I was just wishfully thinking. Made sense to me.
On the other hand. Shelby's stand on the Air Force Tanker contract fight between Boeing and the rest of the world: Airbus, Northrup Grumman et al, will bring at least 200 jobs to north central West Virgina. Personally, I would rather have a legitimate cost effective contract/project than a few more jobs around here.

I agree that "a legitimate cost effective contract" would be ideal. But any work that is not resource extractive or that does not blow the tops off of mountains and destroy every waterway in the state would be a step in the right direction.
BTW, when some of these guys look in the mirror, there is no reflection.

Oh and if Acorn was running a prostitution ring, or helping others run prostitution rings, obvsiously their profits from that type of business would eliminate them from needing govt money! Bwahahahahaha
The saying in Seattle is, "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going"!
