Touchy subject — count on it
Blogging from the Legislature . . .

U.S. Census Bureau officials stopped by the Senate GOP caucus meeting today to bring them up to speed on the upcoming big count — and promptly got their asses handed to them.

Republicans are still smoldering from getting screwed out of a fourth congressional seat by the last census — which they feel unfairly failed to credit Utah with its missionaries who were away from home.

The Senate's Mr. Congeniality Curt Bramble poses the question:
What you are telling us is that illegal aliens will get counted and mormon missionaries will not?
To his credit, Dan Pacheco, a partnership specialist with the Census, doesn't dodge the bullet:
Yes, that is what I am telling you.
Says Bramble:
There is some frustration and I'm sure you recognize it.
Pacheco, who is a Tooele native, said he was aware of the controversy:
It's going to be a fun year.

John Wayne (another anony-moron too chickens**t to use his own name) is typical of the level of discourse and the intelligence of the haters on this issue. Here's my solution: Round up all the people like "John Wayne" and the rest of the Bush base and send them to Saudi Arabia, where they'll fit right in: bigoted? check. Homophobic? check. Think women should be property? check. I'm sure the Saudi religious police are looking for recruits; one god's pretty much the same as the next, right? Then we can make all the illegal immgrants, who would be grateful, into citizens. Problem solved.
