Remember James O’Keefe, the fellow who made the ACORN videos that ultimately ended that organization’s federal funding? His latest is to get a job with the Census Bureau and to try to record his time accurately.
But no one will let him. Everyone insists that he must be paid for an hour or two or three every day that he didn’t work. (The looks on these people’s faces are classic. The dishonesty appears to be so institutional, it’s almost outside their entire frames of reference that someone would oppose it.)
The Census Bureau has, so far, responded by saying yeah, well, that video is selectively edited, and plus that guy is a criminal. All righty, then. Glad y’all cleared that up.
It’s no big deal, folks. This is just the way things work. Right?

Think O’Keefe will stay simple, or will he go the way of that pompous windbag Michael Moore?
It’s pretty cool when it’s limited in scope, but when you start grandstanding at Cannes and the Academy Awards, you are too filled with your own hype.
I think he’ll probably tend toward the former. For one thing, since he’s not, uh, distinctive-looking like Michael Moore is, he can probably keep a large degree of anonymity indefinitely as long as he doesn’t do too much too often.
For another, Cannes and the Academy Awards are not conservative-friendly environments. No matter how well he eventually does, he’ll never have the opportunity to grandstand at either place.
Bo,
You and I should talk one day about the actual reason I left the place you currently work.
