Can you say 'offshore' anymore?

Gotta love the quote from Jim Hightower:

"Excellent news, Americans! U.S. corporations say that they are no longer 'offshoring' our middle-class jobs," Hightower wrote in an essay published Friday. "Does this mean that greedheaded CEOs are no longer shipping our manufacturing, professional, and high-tech jobs to India, Pakistan, Russia and other low-wage centers? Of course not. It simply means they no longer say the word 'offshoring.'"

Politically charged phrase disappearing as firms cook up new terms to describe sending work to cheaper labor markets.
