So I'm filling out this form...

In my day job, I administer federal and foundation grants in higher education. And so I'm filling out this grant application for the federal government, and it requires me to sign a disclaimer at the end of the form specifically stating that my university does is not affiliated with ACORN.

They don't ask if we're affiliated with Al Queda.

They don't ask if we're affiliated with the Aryan Nations.

They don't ask if we're affiliated with any Mexican drug cartels.

ACORN.

They want to make sure that we're not affiliated with ACORN.

I fucking despise Republicans.
