1) Is the “American Community Survey” (Form ACS-1 (2017) a legitimate product of the US Dept of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, US Census Bureau?

2) Do I really have no option except to fill it out?

3) FYI — assuming this is a real form from the US government — for each person, you are supposed to answer “Is this person a citizen of the United States?” (ugh)

The choices are

__ Yes, born in the United States

__ Yes, born in Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, or Northern Marianas

__ Yes, born abroad of U.S. citizen parent or parents

__ Yes, U.S. citizen by naturalization — Print year of naturalization

Sorry if someone else has discussed this form before; I haven’t seen anything on DKos previously.

Haikus for Hope again

A couple of days ago Hlinko posted a diary offering to donate $1 per haiku to Senator Obama, up to $250, via a special donation page. DONE! I offered to follow up for the next 250, but the haiku diary then slid off the front page and the haikus stopped. SO, if your haiku juices are still flowing, here are the rules again (from Hlinko's original diary):

Here's how it works:

Leave a haiku below, related to the presidential campaign (i.e., praising Obama/Biden, slamming McCain or Palin, etc.)

For those of you who slept through elementary school, haikus have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third

Recommend this diary if you want, to keep the haiku train going.

Go to 1, lather, rinse, repeat.

Writing a haiku
Is not difficult when it
will help Obama.

Note: Usually a haiku alludes to the season. But no points off here, if it doesn't.
