527s Out of Time?

Posted By Blackfive

N.Z. Bear has an interesting post about 527s. The Bear points out that, since we're within 60 days of the election, the 527s like Swift Vets and MoveOn cannot use tv or radio commercials. BTW, MoveOn has some discrepancies in their donations vs. spending...

N.Z. Bear points out some interesting possibilities of where the 527s can spend their millions.

Uber Pig
Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
