I wonder if USAID would be willing to sponsor a similar program up here in Canada?
We have lots of friendly college folk who need ESL training and an economic leg up -- so what better way than to operate your call centers up here?
It's as near shore as you can get and these ESL trained immigrants would do the natural, Canuck thing, and spend their USAIDed wages across the border at Costco and Wal-Mart.
I seem to remember an awful lot of Clinton blow-job jokes during the Bush years. Sauce for the goose and all.
Cue uncomfortable silence.
What was considered "routine care" for the CT?

The F-35 is a strike fighter with limited speed, range and durability given its single engine -- especially operating in the Arctic.
Russia who still attempt to do invasion flights into our national airspace.
Ignoring the laughable paranoia involved in the above quote, what do you suppose, at most, 20 operational F-35s are going to do against the Northern Fleet and the air support of the northern bases?
Ah, another Anonymous Coward Conservative -- courage of your convictions from the shadows!
Uh, sure
It's kinda scary imagining what speciesist means to a jackal-headed man.
When the ship is headed toward an iceberg and the captain is being stubborn or unaware, the best course of action is often evacuation.
Otherwise, it's just like throwing chairs on the Titanic?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
