Adam Smith has a headache today.
And it's nothing to do with the world economy.
Mr. Smith flew to Miami to work with the "Miami Beach, baby" Obama campaign and to try and "make the world a better place."
At least that is what he is now claiming. And it may well be true.
However, he was filmed, seated on the sidewalk, somewhat the worse for wear, filing copy for his newspaper, the estimable Birmingham Mail of England's second city.
The chap who filmed him, a highly altruistic Dutch amateur journalist from the famed Couscous Global, a "worldwide website community where young people from all over the world between the ages of 16 and 25 share their most personal issues," managed to capture some fine quotes.
For example: "I wanted to be here because I'm here for history. The trouble is the readers of the Birmingham Mail are going to get my version of history. And I'm a little bit pissed."
That would be pissed as in more sheets to the wind than it takes to win the America's Cup.
The intrepid Dutchman also obtained this jewel: "And thank god for the BBC, because I'm cutting and pasting, oh, baby!" Which sounds remarkably like an admission that Mr. Smith was copylifting from the BBC.
The crescendo of sidewalk drama reached a piercing pitch, however, with Mr. Smith's declaration: "My name is Adam Smith, also known as Steve Zacharanda, who has just resigned from the Birmingham Mail, the Birmingham Post and the Birmingham Sunday Mercury, to set up my own magazine...F**k you, I'm doing what I want."
Naturally, the chap from Couscous Global immediately went back to his tent on the beach and uploaded the 3 minutes and 47 seconds of intimate honesty on YouTube.
