Ah. The wonderful, musical sound of exploding rightwing heads...pop! pop!
And when they do so in unison, it is like the forth of July!
Why are the rightwing heads exploding, you ask???
Grab an Acorn and follow me....
The saga of the embattled anti-poverty group ACORN has taken a new twist, with the disclosure of a Justice Department opinion that a vote by Congress to cut off all federal funding to the group should not affect contracts signed before it was passed.

Congressional republicans are condemning this as 'shameful' tsk tsk.
Seems Hud asked how they should handle the funds slated for Acorn shortly after congress voted to suspend grants to Acorn.
Well, turns out:
Acting Assistant Attorney General David Barron replied that the language of the bill was ambiguous but his opinion was that those contracts could not be breached "where doing so would give rise to contractual liability."
Barron was specifically concerned with "cases where performance has already been completed but payment has not been rendered," which he argued could raise questions of constitutionality if payment was withheld.
This in turn has caused such a massive explosion by the rightwing that the ever classy Darrell Issa said:
"Taxpayers should not have to continue subsidizing a criminal enterprise that helped Barack Obama get elected president," Issa's statement continued. "The politicization of the Justice Department to payback one of the president’s political allies is shameful and amounts to nothing more than old-fashioned cronyism."
Wasn't Issa's name floating around during the Bush Regime's Atty firing scandal???
I just love the hypocrisy of the gop....
Let the heads explode!!!!!
