Crooks and Liars has a clip from a 60 Minutes piece about the shameful conditions in which the US government "houses" asylum seekers and other immigrants.
I couldn't help but noticing that the government organisation that provides, or more often fails to provide, health care to these detainees goes by the moniker Department of Immigrant Health Services (DIHS). Funny how those discussing the lack of adequate care provided and their questioners keep spelling out the name as D-I-H-S rather than attempting to pronounce the acronym. I don't know about you but I would probably pronounce it, perhaps appropriately, as "DIES".
