CENSUS VEHICLE CHRISTENING

CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD, Mass. -- USS Constitution's 71st commanding officer; Cmdr. Timothy M. Cooper, christens the U.S. Census Bureau vehicle "Democracy" on Pier One January 4, 2010, with America's Ship of State in the background. "Democracy" is one of 13 vehicles in the 2010 Census Portrait of America Road Tour, educating the public about the 2010 census and the positive impact their participation can have on their local communities and the nation.

"Census vehicle?" Ugh. No offense to Old Ironsides or her crew, but the thought of a census run by Barry Lackwit and his amoral minions makes me shudder.

I think I'll ignore the census form, then when the person inevitably comes around I'll tell them I'm of African descent. Of course, if you go back far enough, we're _all_ of African descent.

If you ignore the census form, I will have to come and make a citizen's arrest. You will be frisked and cuffed. It will be humiliating.

Will they wash "Democracy" before launching, or will they use the aroma of cheap wine to attract -- uhhhhh -- *clients*? Is there a vehicle named "Republic"? Are the drivers all CDL holders? Are the vehicles hybrids, or are they spewers of the dreaded EPA-declared-poisonous plant food, carbon dioxide? And will there be cookies?
