Shades of the ATF

or "same shit, different bureaucracy"...

Numerous high-ranking SEC officials are in hot water over their obsession with internet porn. One of these clowns accessed 1800 separate porn sites in a two week period. The report I saw on Fox last night said that 17 of these officials make (almost said "earn" but I caught myself!) in excess of $100,000 per year.

To be fair, I do understand the need to get away from job stresses now and then - but - apparently when you work for the feds the best way to do this is at your own desk from 8 to 5.

Turns out Madoff was off their radar because they were focused on an entirely different kind of screwing...

????? What does this have to do with the ATF? Reports indicate Secruities and Exchange Commision (SEC).

I think one of the high ups at the ATF got caught.

Hey, I work for the Government and I can tell you that not only can we NOT do this sort of thing (our computers are filtered so you can't get there) but also if they catch you with anything like porn on your computer your job evaporates. Maybe it's because it's the mil side of the house, but either way we don't mess with this stuff.

I'd like to say I'm surprised about the SEC but I can't, really......

Watching porn is probably the most productive thing the Government does.
