Census Fortune Cookies will soon contain messages like "Put down your chopsticks and get involved in Census 2010" from the federal government.

Census cookies are made by Tsue Chong Co., a cookie factory in Seattle's Chinatown International District. More than 2 million cookies will be shipped to restaurants and grocery stores in the northwest. The cookie company has called it a "great thrill" to partner with the bureau for such an important effort.

To show the rest of the world what a bunch of push overs we are to allow this crap to happen. Why dont they print it on tolet paper.
