This email has been making the rounds according to snopes: This is a heads up regarding Progressive Auto Insurance. You know who they are. They’re the ones with the clever television ads featuring the perky brunette actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, [...]

Bertha Lewis loves socialists

April 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Bertha Lewis, CEO of Acorn, is proud to be a socialist. She applauds anyone who calls themself a socialist.  But, that’s not the best part: “Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me.
