So let's hope all those folks in SC refuse to fill out the forms.

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?

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

I think "offical" could be construed as an adjective for "offal," which happens to be what this woman has for brains.

Besides that would put 95% of the population at a serious disadvantage.

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

That's a somewhat flaccid response.

Better buy a tux Pat, if you are going to be impotent may as well look impotent.

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.
