Omg!!! Obama Has Invaded My Mailbox!!!!
 
This morning an agent, working for that insideous, evil, quasi-governmental entity secretly known as "The Blueshirts", left a frightening leaflet in my mailbox. As soon as I saw the sending address, I knew it could only have been sent at the behest of one man..................the dreaded :eek:O-B-A-M-A:eek:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, it SAYS the census is just a simple form "used to help each community get it's fair share of government funds for highways, schools, health facilities, and many other programs..... SUUUURE it is! What is it really about? And what is this "other" shit? Black Helicopters, Stormtroopers and deathcamps!:eek: That's what!

And you know what else? At the bottom, strange languages. That's right. At the top--the dreaded "Spanish". But that's not all. Now, we have Japanese. But that's not the worst of it. We also have Chinese, Vietnamese annnnnnd-----------RUSSIAN!!!!!!! Eeeeekkk!!! Oh my God!!!!!!! Those are COMMUNIST COUNTRIES, AND RUSSIANS!!!! EEEK! EEEKKK! OBAMA IS COMING!!! EEEK EEEK!:rolleyes:

Dave

The trick is, like Patton said, to NEVER let 'em know whether you're SERIOUS, or just Pulling Their Leg...

I liked the fact that they sent me a letter saying they would be sending me a letter in a few weeks. I wonder how many millions that cost me.:(

I reckon I don't rate either.

They sent me the same "promise".

Are they pumping up the USPS with our tax dollars?

Chas

Twodogs 03-13-2010 08:48 PM

I can't wait to fill mine out. I'm going to answer how many people are here, and on the rest of the questions write in; "That would be some more of your F'ing bidness, now wouldn't it"?:D

AFAIK the gummint does not pay postage, as least not as much as we mere mortals. Got the same letter and I guess it is because people seem to fear filling out the form, but if they do not at least get a head count the state deos not get as much money and could even lose a seat in Congress. So let's hope all those folks in SC refuse to fill out the forms.:rolleyes:

Like at work, when they hold a meeting in which we argue for a half hour when to hold another meeting that'll last about a........half hour.:confused:

Reminds me of when I was on the Board of Directors of a community betterment organization.

Every time we had a meeting, everyone would babble about nothing for an hour, then vote to have another meeting to discuss what we were supposed to be discussing at this meeting.

The upside was, I had some really great stories to tell.

There have been people campaigning against the census. Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R) has stated she will refuse to "answer any questions not required by the Constitution". This is what prompted me to create this satirical thread, here and on FaceBook.

If anyone has further info, speak up please. Comrade John?

Dave

merrylander 03-15-2010 07:18 AM

Michelle Bachmann is a mindless idiot and that she can even spell Constitution amazes me.

Thank you for today's vocabulary word. Seems to me like quite a bit of it can be found in most pieces of legislation.

If anyone cares, the cost for mailing the letters to tell you you are getting a letter, and the post card to tell you you got a letter, was 85 million.:)

Nope! Don't care.

There are around 115 million households in the US. Assuming that the government sent out a letter to each household, it cost them 75 centavos per lettro. Not bad unless you think the census is a communist plot.

Sandy G 03-15-2010 08:49 PM

EVERYTHING is a Communistic Plot, if you go back far enuff...

Similarly, all the towns in the mountains of Colorado (that I know of) receive their USPS mail at the PO.....delivered to PO Boxes. I received my census form hanging on my door, delivered by someone driving around my neighborhood earning $17.00/hr. + mileage. There are many thousands of square miles within the rockies. I'm tingling from head to toe that our tax dollars are being used this way rather than just dropping off bulk mailer bundles at a post office to be delivered to a post office box.

noonereal 03-18-2010 06:39 PM

I think that given it is a census it would not be prudent to send them to PO boxes.

The real shame is, I'm not even surprised. Something has to give sooner or later. I'm starting to hope it's sooner, while I'm still kicking.

Charles 03-18-2010 07:47 PM

They're paying $17 per hour & mileage for a flunkie to drive around hanging census forms on doorknobs? Is it any wonder the government is broke?

Jesus H. Christ.

URL doesn't work: go to google and search the term census bureau jobs.....click on the Local Office Map link to see the U.S. map

I'm sorry, I mis-spoke. It's $16.75/hr in Denver. I had heard on the radio when they were recruiting that the Grand Junction offices (far west in the state and where supposedly the workers would come from to our centrally located town) were going to pay $17.00/hr. Looks like the map shows $12.50/hr instead for Grand Junction. Maybe it's a typo.

Edit: wow, check out California > San Francisco on that map @ $22.00/hr!!

Lighten up you cheapskate. If you saw what my employer pays my lazy ass to go around cleaning photoeyes and pumping grease, you'd shit yourself.:D

I love high wages and lavish benefits for working people. At least then I know it's going to the right place. Better than throwing more $$$$ at a billionaire. WTF is that? Like squirting lighter fluid at a forest fire.:confused:

I see that they're only paying $11.00 in Bugtussell. Looks like grounds for a lawsuit to me.

Do me a favor and tell those Eyeties you work for that I said that they need to run more Columbian. It's getting hard to find around here.

Take care,

Chas
