                          It's wierder than you think
                                        
First it was:

> In 1988 in Las Vegas, a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent was convicted
> of illegal wiretapping but his conviction was overturned when it turned out
> that the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) had illegally put a video
> camera in his office.

Then it was:

> A few years ago the left-wing government of Angola employed Cuban troops to
> defend US oil refineries against a Maoist revolutionary supported by the
> Reagan Administration. It's hard to be politically correct when the world
> starts to look like “Monty Python's flying Circus.”

“–R. Shweder”, New York Times, September 27^th, 1993

And recently … 

> You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the
> best golfer is a black guy, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is
> accusing the U.S. of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war.
> 

But this … this … 

> In a letter to President Bush, a group of CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)
> veterans charge the vice president drove the U.S. to war with a “campaign
> of deceit”—and call for his head.
