Microsoft insists that many permatemps don't want their freedom jeopardized. Says spokesman Dan Leach: "In many cases, we find someone who turns down a permanent position because he's not interested in a pay cut."

...kids are still here: Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman, the quartet of cut-out third-graders in the "quiet little redneck podunk white-trash mountain town" of South Park, Colo. A bit more is at stake this time: the fate of the world. The lads see a movie starring their favorite Canadian gross-out comics, Terrance and Phillip, and parrot the naughty language. The South Park moms blame Canada, and in a trice we're war-ready. Meanwhile, Kenny (the dead one) goes to hell, where Satan and Saddam lurk. It takes a children's crusade--La Resistance...
