here is a perfect example of why half our country is ruh-tards, they listen to and take people seriously that dress up like a 10 year old girl on halloween . Yeah....I really hope people are going to be persuaded by this bimbo. Listen, I know there are several people who love this country and work/live on Visa's. They love this country, and are working toward their citizenship. But for some reason, since there isn't an ocean between us and Mexico they think they don't have to live by our laws. This isn't racism, it has nothing to do about racism, but hell if anybody can understand that. Seriously, give me a break. You watch, after the democrats see this, I bet MSNBC will have Lady Gaga come give an "exclusive" interview to Rachel Maddow, or Keith Olberman now, wouldn't be surprised if NBC did the same thing.

The $23,000 Census Bureau's totem pole? (with your money)
I have heard of some pretty crazy stories about the waste of taxpayer money for this and for that, but this one is definitely near the top of the list.

| NOT the totem, feel better? |
Stephen Robert Morse (@biggovernment.com) wrote on his blog yesterday about the Census Bureau commissioning (nice word for buying) a totem pole to be constructed in Alaska, then hauled to D.C. Steve Jost of the Census Bureau wrote back to him and responded with this:
The image you posted is not that of the 2010 Census Totem. You can see the totem in this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny0-29Ig-FY
Since you have prejudged the value of this important promotional effort before knowing anything about the cost, I’m doubtful the following will be of much solace to you.
In early 2010 while plans were being made for the first enumeration in Noorvik, Alaska, one of the oldest native organizations in the state made a significant gesture. The Alaska Native Brotherhood passed a resolution supporting the Census and forming the creation of a totem pole to mark this significant event. Our Seattle Region put together a plan to commission the art, and have it travel Alaska and Washington State tribal events for several months to promote participation in the 2010 Census. The totem pole is a storytelling icon steeped in the culture and traditions of the Alaska Native and Northwest Pacific Coastal peoples. It is an immediately recognizable symbol to the native people throughout America’s largest state.
The art was commissioned at a cost of $20,000. The cost to have it travel across the country for permanent display at Census is $3,111. We believe strongly that this has been a very effective promotional investment that symbolizes the Census Bureau’s constitutional mandate to ensure a complete count of all tribal lands, especially the 564 Federally recognized tribes.
The response to the Census Totem encouraged us to find a permanent home for it here at our headquarters along with other historical Census artifacts.
seriously?
