Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation

schwit1 writes "The Washington Times reports, 'The problems at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were so pervasive they swamped the agency's inspector general and forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars.' One senior executive at the National Science Foundation spent at least 331 days looking at pornography on his government computer, records show. The cost to taxpayers: up to $58,000. Why aren't they running a product like Websense?"

    Somehow, Penn & Teller's conclusions are always libertarian. Maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe libertarians are the smartest people in the world and so anyone with a brain would arrive upon the same conclusions.

    Maybe reality has a known libertarian bias :P
