• Memo to the “Free Market Foundation” — Come on. Be honest. Are you equally as insistent that science texts teach the “strengths and weaknesses” of other scientific theories, like gravity? No, it’s just code. Also, please change your group’s name; there’s nothing “free market” about trying to use government schools to force your creation stories on students. Preach your beliefs in church or in your home. I mean, I don’t come to your chapel and try to force math on you, do I? Thanks. Best, Trey. PS — Hail C’thulu.

• If you have any lingering thought that the gays are different from us married breeders, let it go. They’re exactly like us.

• Ugh. Census time is coming up again in North Texas. A bunch of people you wouldn’t give the time of day are about to start asking you nosy, intrusive questions. If you get the long form, you will get questions on everything from what time you leave for work (you really want to tell that to someone who can’t do better than a part-time Census job?) to what kind of money you make. But in reality, the only question they are Constitutionally authorized to ask — and that you are legally required to answer — is how many people are in your household. Answer that question and then tell them to sod off. Is this just another privacy pet peeve of mine? No, data gathered by the Census has been used time and again for nefarious purposes, like rounding up Americans of Japanese descent, or harassing Americans of Arab descent.
