LOL! Squidward Rathke! Love it!

I love how ACORN keeps patting themselves on the back for this:
But Rathke, who left the group in June 2008, defended the group's objectives and touted its role in raising the minimum wage... He also cited the group's work on local living wage laws in 15 cities, including Chicago, Oakland, Denver and New York.

And yet:
ACORN sued the state of California seeking an exemption from the law that requires that it pay its own employees a minimum wage. The group treated its workers as if they were mendicant friars, arguing that keeping its employees in poverty helps to boost their zeal to help the poor. (ACORN lost.)

ACORN's Living Wage Campaign

Maude Hurd : "We will continue to work with our allies in Congress and around the country to see the minimum wage return to something that can help sustain a working family."

Fantastic! I can't wait to hear the spin on this one. Keep 'em coming!
