Al, just came from the post office. Some yahoo jerk sitting outside the doors had a hate stand. He had a big sign that said "Save NASA - Impeach Obama" and had a pic of Obama with a Hitler mustache, among other pics and bullshit fear propaganda. Some people are just to effed up for words. I can't believe the post office is letting him stand there. No one was even looking at the douchebag. They just walked right past like he wasn't even there.

MIchelle, I saw that same poster board outside our post office about a month ago. I found it personally offensive, not that they were protesting whatever, but that they put a Hitler mustache on Obama. I just did my business and left I thought they were extreme in trying to get their point across.

Wow...astronomy is one of my favorite hobbies and there's a long list of things I don't like about Obama, but that's still one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Of all the things Obama has or hasn't done, you compare him to Hitler as part of a defense of NASA?
Right...

My census form came in the mail today. It's a 12-page booklet printed in two languages that came in a big envelope with a prepaid return mailer. And last week they sent me a form letter telling me this census packet would be coming soon.
All that effort is for me to tell them I'm a 26-year-old white male who lives alone in a rented apartment. Surely there's a better way to go about all this?

I received my Census as well and I already filled and mailed it out. Won't be much from a single 25 year old male who lives/rents an apartment.
1ryan5150: Have fun and enjoy yourself.
Finished listening G3 Live: Rockin' In The Free World. Loved it!

I understand the importance of the census for funding and everything, I really do. And I know it's in the US Constitution. I also love charts and graphs and numbers and statistics, so I enjoy looking at the results.
But really...they're mailing a 12-page packet with room for information about 10 people (!!!) to every single address in the US? I can't imagine what miniscule percentage of homes or apartment units with unique addresses have 10 people living in them. You could cut the size of the form in half if you make the default size a family of five, and in half again if you only print it in one language.
The "your forms are coming soon" letter could have had something you could mail back if you needed room for more people, or wanted the form in another language. Even better, it could have included a web link so I could complete the census online. I know not everyone has web access, but a lot of people do. Why waste all that paper (and money, with the $2 million Super Bowl commercial)?
I'm not saying things were any better in the past, but with all the importance the Obama administration has given to technology and going green, the way this census is being handled is pretty pathetic.
JesseKennemer - I'm not quite sure what you're talking about..."that guy from Aerosmith" has a name, Brad Whitford, and he hardly has an ego.
Brad sticks to blues-based rock in Aerosmith, but you might want to read up on his other musical interests. In an interview from about 10 years ago:
Whitford: There's a lot of other things I'd like to do on the guitar maybe, but don't quite get a chance to do it all within the context of Aerosmith.
Guitar.com: What kind of things might those be?
Whitford: I don't know, maybe more sort of blues-jazz type things that I enjoy listening to. I like a lot of that solo guitar stuff that people do. I've always enjoyed Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and to just make a nice melody and sounds with your guitar.
Just look, Satch and Brad clearly get along OK.

In Mexico they will be sending high school and college students door to door to obtain the data. Highly unscientific method, but I guess that for a small monetary compensation many unemployed people would be willing to do it, both here and in the US.
