#1 he offended enough of the workers that Census is revising its policy on outside speakers.

They wanted Jerry Seinfeld and got Howard Stern. People were offended? Poor shrinking violets. I'm offended at the continued gross waste of taxpayer money in Washington.

#3 Funny aspect of blind, gratuitus kowtowing by management to the leadership. Sometimes the workers are not receptive to the intent of the narrative.

#4 I thought for sure he'd died by now.

Or at least really, really, really skinny.

#5 There is no YouTube video of Gregory’s speech that I could find. But included in Gregory’s nuggets of wisdom was apparently criticism of the “crackers” in Census management for not showing up for the talk. In case you are wondering, “crackers” have nothing to do with Nabisco.

Wonder if DoJ's booked him for Eric Holder's going-away party?
