WASHINGTON -- The Census Bureau said Monday it is being watchful about potential dangers to its workers -- ranging from anti-government sentiment to everyday accidents -- after six died in auto incidents in the last week.

... two census workers were struck by a tanker truck after they apparently failed to yield at a stop sign.
Bush's fault.

I’ve always said that.

Obama inherited this problem. It’s Cheney’s fault.

Just more censusless fatalities caused by those who don’t want to be counted. There is definitely got to be a consipracy behind these accidents.

One came to my mom’s house a while back to do the GPS thing. It was pouring rain and I spoke to him from inside her house while he got drenched.

I wonder if these census workers filled out their census forms and if now their census forms will be deleted or will they still be counted.

I wonder if it would be bad manners to sic my terrier on the Census workers? Ok, not sic, just not remove him from the room. His bark is quite loud and disruptive. Besides, I*ve given them all the info 3 am required to give them ... the total number of people who live there and a contact number.

>>”Ok, not sic, just not remove him [Terrier] from the room.”<<

Please tell me that you’re not entertaining the thought of inviting them into your house. I don’t care if it’s raining like hell and there is lightning striking within 10 feet of them. They ain’t coming into my house or even on my porch.
