WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PICK UP A PEN?
Redefining Outsourcing

Embattled Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld (and let’s all start using that descriptive whenever referring to the man), in a reversal of his reversal of longstanding procedure, has decided henceforth to sign, in his own hand, letters of condolence to the families of soldiers killed in the war on Iraq.

What was he doing before now, you ask?

Outsourcing the task to a machine.

[Post-publication addendum (December 25): Cool! A Google search of embattled Donald Rumsfeld yields approximately 28,600 hits.]
