Agencies with a sense of humor

Check out this story from the Guardian about how government agencies in the US are using social media to really communicate with their audience. And laughed out loud at some of the postings!

I've had the pleasure of getting to know many government employees in recent years (my wife is a prominent example ). Many people who work for the NPS, BLM, USFS, or similar ogs and do social media usually are 35 or under, comfortable with how to work with social media and tend towards the witty side.

I love the NPS bakeoff done in December -

Much like an 800 year-old culturally-significant petroglyph, we must hide this treasure and keep it out of the wrong hands. The new majority in the House will point to it and say, "See how they want to spend your tax dollars?!"

I actually kinda miss the good ol' days when not every corporation and bureaucracy was hip to the in-jokes. Felt more honest.

One can only imagine what Ammon Bundy would make of that video.
