In other creepy government news
Boing Boing informs us that the government now is compiling resumes through services like monster.com. In their guidelines they explain that in order to comply with Federal hiring guidelines they plan on submitting all resumes they collect to this database.

I love all the corporate speak here too. Everything is put in place to "help" contractors and customers. It's like the recordings you hear when you're put on hold. "We care about our customers, please wait until we can assist you, we may be recording your conversation so we can provide you with better customer service, that needle penetrating your brain is collecting information that will assist us in providing service to our customers, your organs are being harvested for your convenience in the afterlife, the systematic elimination of your sanity and your manhood helps us help you, please wait..."

I wonder what the purpose of this record retention law really is? It's not like someone is going to put down Summa Cum Laude, Remote Arabian Training Ground on the resumé. Has it come to the point to where agencies have to prove that they hired a qualified person, and not just given the position to the closest horse judge they could find?
