A couple of major policy backtracks from the White House this weekend. First off, following the guerilla reporting that nailed ACORN for highly unethical behavior, the Census Bureau announced that they are ending their affiliation with ACORN for the 2010 census. Glad to know common sense can prevail in some quarters!

And then, in the "It pays to call somebody a liar in front of the whole nation when they are lying" department, the White House has suddenly announced that a citizenship verification requirement for obtaining health care coverage might be a good idea after all. So I guess one man can make a difference. Good to know.
