So What Exaclty is ACORN?
Joshua October 16th, 2008
During this election cycle, the Times reported today, ACORN has deployed thirteen thousand mostly paid workers, who have registered 1.3 million new voters. One or two per cent of these workers turned in sheaves of forms that they filled out themselves with fake names and bogus addresses, and, even though at least a hundred of these workers have already been fired, the forged forms have been submitted to election boards.
Sounds suspicious—unless you know that groups like ACORN are required by law to submit them, even if they’re obvious fakes. This is to prevent funny business, such as trashing forms that look like they might be Republican (or Democratic, as the case may be).
Sounds suspicious—unless you know that ACORN normally sorts through forms, flags those that look fishy, and submits the fishy ones in a separate pile for the convenience of election officials.

Sub Pop has gone and bought themselves a Vetiver. They’ve signed Andy Cabic and his band for a new album to be released in early 2009.
In a statement, Sub Pop said “In the parlance of our times, we simply issued some commercial paper to raise the requisite capital and now Vetiver is ours.” File this one under mergers and acquisitions.
