The Department of Labor downplayed the effect of job
outsourcing to the Third World. They say it's good in the long

employee needs to work a hundred hours a week to afford the rent

that looks like someone designed it on purpose.
CIA Chief George Tenet said Wednesday it will take five more
years to make the CIA competent again. He wants more money. Giving

gave no hints to United States intelligence of his whereabouts.

while he was onstage with Hillary Clinton Wednesday. Everyone
