No but I’ll bet that he regards “dialectic materialism” as scientific.

He wants to fix the numbers to compensate for the exodus from the rust belt strong hold. They must count nonexistent ghetto dwellers to make up the loss.

Since his census takers cannot read or write or count, there must be statistical compensation for the failed count

Or underestimate Illegals.

[paulycy]

he should do the decent thing and immediately resign.

Agreed.

It would be nice to know what Sen. Gregg thinks about all this, but he’s refusing comment. And that, says Mr. Chapman, the former Census director, is damaging his credibility.

“He will look neutered with oversight of the most important function of his department over the next two years shipped over to the West Wing,” he says. “If I were him, I wouldn’t take the job unless I had that changed.”

Thanks george76.

"There's only one reason to have that high level of White House involvement," a career professional at the Census Bureau tells me. "And it's called politics, not science."
