Dallacroce, who's nearly the only hottie in the nativist hornets' nest, recently received a cease and desist letter from the mad moms at MADD, informing her she must lay off using the "Mothers Against" part of her org's title, or face a legal firing squad.

"MADD cannot be associated with your organization," writes attorney Anisha Taherzadeh. "And the use of 'Mothers Against' gives a strong implication of a relationship with MADD."

Taherzadeh informed Dallacroce she had 10 days to comply, or be torted. Dallacroce, who's as feisty as she is comely, told those mothers where they could stick it. She fired back a press release to her supporters alleging that MADD's aligned itself with pro-illegals. (Gee, I never see those madres at the meetings.)

"[MADD's] morphed into a National and International Organization which now, unbelievably, supports La Raza and LULAC [League of United Latin American Citizens] members who have served and still serve on their Board of Directors and who are also members of the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations," writes Dallacroce on her Web site. Hey, what about the Bilderbergers and the Masons? And throw in the Knights of Columbus and a case of Dos Equis while you're at it.

Wack crackpot she may be, but Dallacroce's right to call this threatened legal action a boxcar of bison biscuits.

Have you ever Googled "Mothers Against"? There's a Mothers Against Meth, Mothers Against Circumcision (ouch!), Mothers Against Brain Injury (is anyone out there for brain injury?), Mothers Against School Hazing (for you wimps), Mothers Against Arpaio (The Bird's fave), and on and on. There's even a Mothers Against Peeing Standing Up (www.mapsu.org), for moms who want to "prevent unnecessary urine stream fragmentation."

I put in a call to MADD spokeswoman Misty Moyse, who indicated that MADD's simply defending its trademark. Asked by this ibis if MADD had sued anybody lately over the issue, Moyse said she didn't know, promised to get back, but never did. Let this loony lapwing make a wild guess: If there are all these "Mothers Against" orgs out there, maybe, just maybe, MADD hasn't been that litigious.

Can't see this going very far, but if Dallacroce does have to change her name, she could always see whether "MILFs Against Illegal Aliens" is taken.
