More News from India

As long as we're on the subject of outsourcing, Harry Shearer's Le Show on 5/6 had a bit about CNN's Lou Dobbs being outsourced to Bangalore. (You need the Real Player to hear it - get it here.)

Le Show can be heard Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. on 89.9FM KCRW. You might recognize Shearer as the voice of Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Smithers and a multitude others on FOX's The Simpsons. He was also the original Eddie Haskell on the Leave It To Beaver pilot, and has been in numerous movies, including "This Is Spinal Tap."

Long-time Shearer fans will remember his work with the Credibility Gap in the early 70's. Back then, on New Year's Day, people of a certain, hip demographic would turn down the sound on the TV broadcasts of the Rose Parade and turn up the sound of the Credibility Gap's ad-libbed radio narration.
