We’re sad to report that the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) is changing its name.
The organization’s leaders say its fine, upstanding reputation has been tarnished by 14 pesky investigations and indictments for voter registration fraud plus charges of financial mismanagement.
“We’ve known for many months now that the name ACORN is going to be retired,” said Marcel Reid, a former ACORN leader who has formed a breakaway group. “The name has been so damaged to the point where the leadership knows it simply can’t go on as it has with the ACORN label out front and center, especially after all of the reporting.”
Wade Rathke, ACORN’s founder, announced on his blog that ACORN International has officially changed its name to Community Organizations International (COI).
We suggest that COI should lengthen its name to Community Organizations International Terrorizing the United States (COITUS), because they’re screwing every single one of us.

A nut remains a nut whatever the name. Crazy is as Crazy does and so does corruption.
Well, a dead mackerel by moonlight still stinks.
So, ACORN still smells -- even when all perfumed up.
