About Prickly City
A small town in the American Southwest... everything in the desert is designed to prick you, wound you or eat you. What better metaphor for 21st century Earth? Prickly City is a comic strip about the friendship between Winslow, a coyote pup, and Carmen, a straight and narrow kind of kid. Prickly City offers a conservative perspective on political and social events within an ongoing storyline. As Carmen might say, "We may not be correct but we will always be right."
Their high jinks provide endless laughs as Winslow gets into trouble and Carmen follows. Join Carmen and Winslow for their adventures in the desert!

The voter registration fraud associated with ACORN is an attempt to defraud ACORN itself. ACORN pays people based on the number of voters that they register, so sometimes the workers pad the lists to get more money. ACORN checks for for this, then reports the bad registrations as fraudulent (and fires the dishonest workers).
Having defended ACORN from the popular slander, I should also note that, compared to other voter registration groups, it has much higher rates of fraud (17% compared to 5%, according to Wikipedia). Personally, I think that this is because of their all-out, gung-ho strategy: just get all the registrations that you can, and deal with the bad ones later. In terms of sheer numbers, it's a successful strategy, but it comes at a price.
