NASA Employee Suspended For Blogging At Work
BobJacobsen writes "FCW has an article about a NASA employee that was suspended for blogging on government time. Seems the unnamed employee's 'politically partisan' blog entries were a violation of the Hatch Act. The article ends with a chilling quote from the government's Special Counsel in the case: 'Today, modern office technology multiplies the opportunities for employees to abuse their positions and — as in this serious case — to be penalized, even removed from their job, with just a few clicks of a mouse.'" Thing is, he was soliciting campaign donations and writing partisan stuff.
Remind me, while Bush is campaigning and fundraising for McCain, who is paying him to do that?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.

Then he should have had a little discipline and waited till he was home.
No no no no!
Clearly to have been disciplined he must have been a hateful, knuckle-dragging, racist, misogynistic, greedy, lazy RNC hack that somehow was mistakenly hired (probably due to the habit of lies and deception practiced by all conservatives), rather than an upstanding and valuable employee that simply was enthusiastic and patriotically participating in his God-given right to love the DNC!!
