American Spectator:

ACORN's lawyer warned ACORN 15 months ago to begin fixing its massive internal problems or face certain catastrophe. ACORN didn't listen. It let the problems fester.

The advice from Elizabeth Kingsley of Harmon, Curran, Spielberg Eisenberg LLP came in the form of an eerily prophetic legal memo to ACORN dated June 19, 2008, the day before ACORN's national boardfired disgraced founder Wade Rathke.

The memo is a kind of Holy Grail for ACORN researchers...

Founder Wade Rathke might have been wise to adopt an anti-nepotism policy. His brother Dale embezzled $948,000 from ACORN while working there. Even after Wade covered up the theft, he kept Dale on the payroll for eight years. Wade's wife, Beth Butler, and reportedly, his two children also work at ACORN.

Kingsley slams her client for not keeping political activities separate from other activities. "It may be that activities are carried out with adequate independence, but without formal policies and separation of staff functions, there are potential liabilities and problems of proof."

Another global warming setback - George Will column:

The New York Times recently stated that they missed the boat on the Van Jones story. They blames it on being short staffed during the Labor Day weekend. Are you kidding? The New York Times. So, anyway, they decided that they would assign someone to watch Fox News so as not to miss the next one. I guarantee this leads to a detailed story about Fox News bias, lies, and ignorant viewers. Good luck NYT.
