Second-Best Blog Headline of the Day

Posted on | March 24, 2010 | 19 Comments

SEC Employees Were Masturbating to
Kiddie Porn While Your Economy Tanked

And the sad thing is, it’s not a joke:

Two video files found on [a gay SEC employee’s] computer were referred to the FBI because investigators suspected that the men depicted having sex in them were underage.

Some people may object that “gay SEC employee” is redundant, since being a federal bureaucrat is so totally gay to begin with, but the alternative — “bureaucratic wanker” — is even more redundant, so . . .

Well, anyway, it was a good headline. Not quite as good as the best headline of the day, but still pretty good.

    I would like to pretend I’m surprised or disgusted but that would be a lie. I am only amazed when the government does something it actually promised to do. Of course in this case they have pretty well promised to screw us over so…

    might surprise you, but there are(were?) gay conservatives and the anti-gay stuff drives us away from your party and your site…

    OK, that’s a big relief, it wasn’t incompetence- they’re just irresponsible reprobates.

    Dude, fear of porn residue being found on a hard drive is the real reason ALL employees ‘lose’ their company-owned laptops. It is an epidemic. There’s more laptops thrown off bridges than hot handguns.

    There are fderal workers who have never been in their office in years. I know a GAO employee who spends more time at home than in an office. You ought to see things at HUD.

    Anybody spending an hour and a half each day downloading porn and having their way with themselves (ESPECIALLY at work!), needs to take a seriously honest look at themselves and what they have become.
