Top Census Scientist Grilled
High heat will sear the exterior and seal in the juices …
while leaving the insides tender —
Well, in my book “misallocation” of my tax funding, is a HUGE problem!
This is so close to the requests to stop counting ballots of valid voters/taxpayers!
Mueller appears to prefer the reverse sear method, where you slowly heat the entire target until almost done, then quickly expose it to a high-temperature sear for the flavors of smoke and caramelization.
Gotta feel sorry for the scientist. He know Ross and Co. are crooks, but does not want to get fired. So he is leaving breadcrumbs so he is asked the right questions (which Ho is asking) to which he provides honest answers.
No fun…
The “consequences” of the decline in self response “can be addressed” by the follow-up efforts, Abowd told Ehrlich. Those efforts include in-person visits by census enumerators, drawing upon other administrative records the Census Bureau has access to, and using proxies, like neighbors or landlords.
Doesn’t this bring to mind Nazis or the Stasis, or any other authoritarian methods like informers to gather info on the population?
God, TPM, must you lead off this story with that gag-inducing photo of Wilbur Ross?!?! I haven’t even read the article yet. I had to pause to compose myself after clicking on the link!
Has there ever been a “good” photo of Ross, and taken within the last century of his life?
I don’t think of that so much as I think that the “can be addressed” is a glaring red flag about whether the shortfall will be addressed. If previous decades, there have been huge fights about what (if anything) the census people are allowed to do to remedy shorfalls in reporting. And, of course, there’s the question of funding the census. So yes, the potential dangers of lighting someone on fire can be addressed with proper safety equipment. But that doesn’t mean it’s OK for republicans to light people on fire.
yum yum … tasty ! ….
And if I must point out the obvious, once you light someone on fire, it would be hard to undo the damage, even with the dilligent application of follow-up measures.
This was from 1988 -
I mean I think he looks a little better now, but that may be the quality of digital photography for all I know.
Sous vide…then grill on extremely high heat.
If they put the question in, the wingnuts will see the skewed results and conclude that there are no illegal immigrants or non-citizens left in the US. Problem solved, wingnuts. Now stop braying about it. That’s one good reason to put it in for 2020.
Of course, there is currently no evidence of illegals voting, or voter fraud at all, and that doesn’t keep them from braying about those things.
Sigh
Not to mention, more expensive than not lighting them on fire in the first place!
He looks and sounds like Deputy Dawg to me,
Please, . . .can we get this straight? The purpose of the census is to determine how many people are present in the United States at the “snapshot” time of the actual count, and where they are located… In terms of the need for services, representation, and public policy those are the key data points. Citizenship, immigration status, etc. are remote and irrelevant matters for the purpose of the census… Age, economic status. health status, residential condition, and other such demographic factors are certainly relevant. Citizenship is a pejoritive issue relative to the fundamental validity of the census.
The question was added to make sure the GOPerverts stayed in Power .
