Gee. I wonder what ever happened to that wonderful, upright, trustworthy, always-helping-their-fellow-man organization known as 'A.C.O.R.N.' ... ? Hmm ... haven't heard much about them since those days when they were on camera telling people how to bring underage illegal aliens into the country to use as sex slaves - while they were trying to find out how to avoid paying taxes on 'em ... yeah ... THAT 'A.C.O.R.N.' ... remember now ... ? Oh HEY ... ! I just found this story about how they're trying to change their NAME now - but keeping the same staff ... imagine THAT ...

ACORN branches rename, rebrand after video scandal

Mar 15, 5:55 AM (ET) | By MICHAEL TARM

CHICAGO (AP) - Affiliates of the once mighty liberal activist group ACORN are remaking themselves in a desperate bid to ditch the tarnished name of their parent organization and restore federal grants and other revenue streams that ran dry in the wake of a video scandal.

The letters A, C, O, R and N are coming off office doors from New York to California. Business cards are being reprinted. New signs with new names are popping up in front of offices.

The breakaways are trying to shed the scandal that emerged six months ago when videos showed some ACORN workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute. But while their names are different, most groups have kept the same offices and staff.

That, critics say, means the groups really haven't started anew and severed all ties to ACORN, which faced accusations of mismanagement and rampant voter registration fraud well before the video brouhaha sent even longtime Democratic backers scattering.
