Morning Post: Prosperity edition

So Americans for Prosperity has detected a possible increase in the public debt in Wake County for public education (horrors!) and is pitching in to defend Wake from the communists. I hope they know they’ll have to let us know where the money’s coming from. Wanna guess?

Source Watch tells us that AFP is headed up by none other than Art Pope. Hey Art! The last time they went after a bond in NC, they even got to fly around in a jet owned by Variety Wholesalers, Inc. SBOE filings. Here’s a look at the AFP foundation’s charity numbers. Only sending 54 cents on the dollar into programs. I think even the Wake school board does better than that.

And as an extra bonus attraction, SW also let’s us know that it has a sister organization, the Independent Women’s Forum, which SW notes:

. . . is an anti-feminist organization funded by Richard Mellon Scaife, Koch Industries, and other right-wing ideologues. Materials on IWF’s site claim, for example, that “the battered women’s movement has outlived its useful beginnings.”

IWF, evidently is doing wonderful things for the women of Iraq and they’ve got $10 million of your tax dollars to work with. This blog post from IWF shows you they have the kind of sensitivity needed to deal with the situation. The State Department must be very proud of them. They’re also trying to save our campuses from radical feminists and people who believe in Affirmative Action. Check out their campus corner advice. Oh, and they do luv ‘em some Ann Coulter.
