o Unexpectedly Nancy Pelosi's House also jettisons ACORN. The Defund ACORN
Act, passed on a 345-75 procedural vote as part of an

o Washington Post column: Barack Obama's capitulation to Russian pressure to not proceed with a missile defense shield in eastern Europe "is a serious

this policy change on Thursday, the 70th anniversary of the Soviet
invasion of Poland, added unnecessary insult to injury.)"
