Hey, US Government?

I get that it's Very Very Important that I fill the census thing out and send it back to you.

In fact, I did it the day the thing arrived in the mail.

However, I'm quite miffed that you're spending my hard-earned tax dollars that could be better spent elsewhere to send me not ONE, but TWO letters letting me know, first of all, that the cursed thing was coming, and then an ADDITIONAL postcard telling me How Very Important it is that I fill it out and send it back. When I've already done so.

Also, I don't like your incessant TV ads. How many of my tax dollars were spent on those?

And you're the people we're supposed to trust with our health care?

Yeah, RIGHT.

Sincerely,

agilebrit, who is skeptical that you will ever do anything right ever again

On a more cheerful note...

The Redbox is just about the Best Thing Ever and I'm totally sold on it. A buck a night for a video rental, and free for the first night if you grab a code? I have no idea how they're making their money (well, actually, I have a very good idea--from absent-minded and/or busy people who fail to bring the movie back after the first night), but this is AWESOME.

Why, yes, we're going to watch "Men Who Stare at Goats" tonight after Lost's Richard ep.

BTW, Lost? OMG RICHARD OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.
