Did anyone hear that some bureaucrat, in charge of

means that there will be a glut of politically incorrect surplus
computer equipment and documentation available there. Of course,
they'd probably recycle it into scrap so as to not risk offending
purchasers... too bad they don't just recycle the political
correctness into something else.
