way to go, chicago!

"All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'"

HOORAY! I love ACORN! What a cool community organizing group. I think they're also the ones who did the Staples Center stuff in LA.

On a completely unrelated note, I was the Cubs v. Mets game yesterday and they played this clip over and over and OVER again on the jumbotron. But instead of "I'm mad as hell ..." it said "Lets Go Mets". Lame. Lame. Lame.
