dave- or they would have killed you 🙂
true Pete- its nice to know when our government gets ripped off by unions or the corporate world and Wall St. it’s an equal opportunity “victim.”
Acorn annoys the hell out of me often but this incident is really sad because Acorn has done a lot of good work in the community. Most of its members are dedicated people who try to make the community a better place. Now its work is undone and I am sure the people who tried so hard to discredit them during the election are just thrilled.
I have an MBA. I worked my way through college and grad school to get it. Best thing I ever did. i could have stayed home and gone to work for the State of NY but I thought more highly of myself and probably would have committed suicide if I was in a state job for 30 years. 🙂
there are entire univ. programs devoted to how to rip off american taxpayers and exploit workers. It is called MBA programs. Many corporate donors.
does anyone know if there is any relationship between the ACORN referenced in these articles and the Acorn School in brooklyn (i think in bed sty?)?
yeah i saw the one about the p*mp and his h0 who went in for housing advice. why the scandal about that anyway? the day p*mps and h0’s can’t find affordable housing is the day i turn in my American citizenship.
and lol i read in the paper this morning that only like 200K people will even show up to vote today. im glad it’s over, those canvassers near the 4th ave r train stop are mad annoying.
*rob*
btw, no one at the polling spot this morning.
dibs, unions are going to make us broke. I’m baffled why Bloomberg didn’t take a harder line with them, total disapointment.
DeLepp, it’s the unions that have done this. Cut their benefits, let them strike and bring in new workers at lower pay grades.
