Super User Root beer Posted May 25, 2010 Super User Posted May 25, 2010 The first paragraph just cracked me up. including some whose duties included inspecting offshore oil rigsaccepted sporting-event tickets, meals, and other gifts from oil and natural-gas companies and used government computers to view pornography, according to a new report by the Interior Department's inspector general. The highlight is the punch line. I still haven't been able to manage to read rest of article from laughing. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704026204575266112115488640.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsTop Quote

Super User Root beer Posted May 26, 2010 Author Super User Posted May 26, 2010 Why is it funny that taxpayers have been paying government employees to watch porn? You're looking at it the wrong way. The entire country and government officials are slamming offshore-drillers and BP. While the regulator authority who are suppose to be keeping offshore-drillers in check are sitting in their office is watching porn. How can you not appreciate this humor? ;D I'm not trying to get political, but it cracks me up. I did go back and read the rest of article and majority of those incident occur in 2007 and years before 2007. Quote
