Politicizing the census
Why not? They do it to everything else.

Received from PFAW:

The Bush administration's at it again -- denying reality that doesn’t fit its
political agenda (as it's done with global warming, the war, the economy and so
much more).

The press this week reported on an offensive protocol by the Census Bureau for
how it intends to handle married same-sex couples during the 2010 Census. *The
Bureau will NOT count legally married gay couples as married, and will instead
EDIT the data submitted by married gay couples to change their status to
"unmarried partners."*

Please sign on to our petition to the Census Bureau urging them not to do this.

2. Huh?
Of course this is not the most important thing on the radar, but it is politicizing the census and being stupid nonetheless. Just thought people might be interested in one more example of that.

...You are correct. I shouldn't have snarked.
