U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SEEKING EBONICS TRANSLATORS FOR HIRE...

Yes, you read the post heading correctly! No joke. The Justice Department is looking to hire Translators "fluent in Ebonics" to monitor, translate and transcribe conversations recorded during drug investigations.

"...while "technology plays a major role in the DEA's efforts, much of its success is increasingly dependent upon rapid and meticulous understanding of foreign languages used in conversations by speakers of languages other than English and in the translation, transcription and preparation of written documents."
Ha! [Source]
