On the night of May 30, 2009 I was at Club Charles with my friends. I was standing at the bar picking some delicious leftovers off of a friends plate when two women approached me. They did not ask who I was but they did have a few words ready for me. The woman who ended up doing most of the talking said to me: "We are from ACORN and we did not like the article you wrote about our bill". At first I had food in my mouth and I could not respond right away. The swallowing of my delicious snack gave me a moment to think and figure out what article they were talking about (I have written over 400 articles in a little over a year now). They were talking about this article from February of this year. They did not like that I did not ask for ACORN's side of the story and that I said banks would not want to lend money for houses in Baltimore if such a bill passed. I said that I was not the only person who had this opinion. I stated that Councilman Bill Cole also shared my opinion. The woman then said something about Bill Cole having close ties with a bank. This was meant to be a derogatory statement. It is funny that ACORN representatives can express animosity toward Bill Cole yet they endorsed him in the 2007 election. Bill Cole suddenly did not just start to think like this.
