Gov'ment Dumping Statistical Abstract? The Hell?!

Statistical Abstract of the United States, 2011-2012: The National Data Book (130th Edition)
It has a damn shuttle on it!   

The Statistical Abstract of the United States is being targeted for deletion through budget cuts.  The book has been in publication since 1878 and will be put down by the budget communists sometime within the next year unless librarians have anything to say about it.  The excellent resource we will have to see through dark times, like a young Kyle Reese, libraries must save the Statistical Abstract and make sweet, sweet love to it before the Budget Terminator comes to kill us both.  And then we have a whiny kid.

That rant was only so I could plant the idea in your head as Ahnold Swartezhoffenater Govenator knocking on a door:  "Statistical Abstract?"  "Yes?" Shoots through the door with a shotgun made of cuts, budget cuts.  Then Michael Biehn as the library coming through the window, "Come with me if you want to live!" Duh, duh, da da, duh.
