The community organizing group ACORN, effectively defunct for months, finally, perhaps fittingly, dissolved today. CEO Bertha Lewis writes: The ongoing political onslaught caused irreparable harm. This effort was a clear attempt to cast a shadow over the historic 2008 Presidential election, and set up a far right counter offense. Through those attacks we re-tooled and re-organized. Then again came the right-wing media blitz. This time of edited videos that misrepresented our mission, and consequently misled the public. The pressure and cost of defending ourselves in multiple investigations as a result of the falsified videos has eroded our organization. As a result we will be filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy by close of business today. We have seen this coming for some time. Our chapters closed in the first quarter of the year. We have spent our remaining resources trying to dissolve the organization with integrity, while continuing to respond to the extremist attacks. Allegations and reports will continue to try to undermine all that ACORN has done, often searching for evidence from long before I became CEO. Filing for Chapter Seven means the group is being liquidated and selling off its remaining assets. Some of the group's stronger local chapters continue under different names, and their leaders have discussed reforming a national organization, but it doesn't seem to have happened yet.

Where is war going to get his income?
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)
Prostitution.
