alms for the Census

We're fast approaching a year ending in a zero, which means: it's Decennial Census time! And, according to the New York Times, the most well-known and mandatory survey in the land is already underfunded: "Whether by intention or neglect, the Bush administration omitted the census from a list of several activities that needed to be exempted from that limit."

Way back when he was running for president the first time, Bush the second let it be known that he probably wouldn't fill out the long form, either, but hopefully somebody reminded him that it's actually illegal to neglect to do so.
