All you legally gay-married folks will not be counted in the 2010 U.S. census. Census takers will ask same-sex couples who live together to define themselves as "unmarried partners," as they did in 2000 before some states - currently only Connecticut and Massachusetts - allowed gay marriage. "This i...

Before I get into the Census Bureau's estimates for the number of at-home dads in 2008, I need to acknowledge the fact that I totally missed the estimate for 2007.

A focus on the 2010 census seems to be one of the legacies from Judd Gregg's short time as Commerce nominee.

But statisticians at the Commerce Department didn't think it would mean having the director of next year's Census report directly to the White Hous...

Why would this democrat president want to take control of what should be a nonpartisan process of accurately counting the number of Americans in each state? Personally, I think it ...
