Once their usefulness came to end the Democrats (with some GOP prodding) voted to strip ACORN of their Federal funding. It was a pretty easy decision since the group was proved to be corrupt bunch of buffoons over the last ten days or so. Here's the link on how they voted. This was a good bit of politicking by the Republicans (as opposed to some of their recent stupidity) as it now gives them a little ammo agianst the 75 Democrats that voted no. The article does point one thing out and IMHO this is the more important issue - it still has to cross Obama's desk. The Republicans have got him on this one. If he doesn't sign the funding cutoff into law then he's viewed as ACORN's tool and an already enraged and mobilized Right will just get more amped up. If he does cut them off he damages his relationship with a major organization that is responsible for his success in the 2008 general election and the unions which support ACORN.
I found this interesting: China is concerned that India is not the pushover they once were.
India also claims that the recent reports of a Chinese incursion and a cross-border shooting incident are false.
Venezuela seems to be stocking up on guns instead of butter.
This is scary.
