Can someone diagnose her and prescribe Litium and Elecroshock therapy, soon? I am beginning to feel sorry for her? I think she needs a white coat. Just saying....
wit h extra long sleeves.
Someone tell her that the government already has more personal info on her than she could ever imagine. Credit card histories, cell-phone usage and records of every text message sent, all phone calls from home, travel documentation, SSN. A Census should be the least of her worries.
I agree. As a small business owner, I was always pushing when I paid my employees and went I put in my 941 payments. Imagine my surprise one day when I got a letter detailing when I had paid them, when they had cashed their checks and when I had paid their payroll taxes (of course, they were off by one month in my favor). The whole experience was somewhat unsettling
not to mention when one goes on the internet. i can't google anything without being bombarded by emails that have some connection to the subjects i've googled. by using the internet for personal, professional means, you are truly exposed.
The Google icon bar has been identified as a possible source of email bombardment. You can avoid it by typing www.google.com in the Internet address bar manually. I have seen a huge reduction in these unsolicited emails using this method.
What is she worried about? It's the Census Bureau for pete's sake, not face.book.
okay fine. The rest of the senate should take that bill and use it as toilet paper and move on.
I'm trying to conceive of a situation that could possibly make someone in Backman's position so ignorant. I think maybe here genes were strained through a sheet at the time she was conceived.
The link doesn't complete for me...pulls up the page but not the story....
i love the pics HP gets for the articles.
Me too. Peggy Noonan, priceless.
These people look so far gone that its really hard to believe they hold anytype of professional office. Drinking the koolaid doesent even come close to describeing them.
Minnesota does know how to keep politics interesting, though.
What's she afraid of? That the census bureau will find out she's from outer space?
It has been reported that two birds have escaped from the local zoo. It was reported that a pair of exotic loons had escaped from their holding pins. The pair was being held in captivity for their rarity and the possibility of their extinction. There are only two known of this species. One bird was captured in Minnesota and the other one was captured in Texas. If you have seen these loons, please call your local animal control center. These loons can be distinguished from other species due to their erratic behavior and when in flight they have a tendency to be right wing heavy, since the right wing of this species grow larger for unknown reasons. Since being right wing heavy, they seem to fly in a spiraling circle. Do not approach these birds because they have an unusual habit of spewing regurgitated garbage. At this time, the zoo officials are studying an unofficial plan that would offer a reward for the capture of these loons. Currently they have not put a price on these birds. The loons go by the names of Bak-Bak and Po-Po.
Love it!
That's one way to hide the shrinking number of Americans that identify as Republicans. It's also a way to change polling numbers. If her constituency wants to risk fewer electoral votes, and fewer House of Representative seats, I'm all for it.
The landscape of state and city governments would also change in Minnesota and Texas, and I see that as a positive outcome for the citizens of both states who continue to participate in census polling.
My favorite Republicans are the completely insane ones--the crazier the better. We must do everything possible to ensure that they get all the publicity they want.
Agreed. The Dems have lots of great video for the next several campaigns.
Does the health insurance policy our elected officials enjoy not include mental health coverage? Clearly this wackjob needs some.
She reminds me of my ex daughter-in-law. Thank goodness it is EX.
