Porn Part Of Job At U.S. Agency
Employees at the multi billion-dollar federal agency that promotes science and national health spend substantial amounts of work hours viewing pornography on government computers yet a chunk of economic stimulus money is coming its way.
With an annual budget of $6.6 billion, the National Science Foundation (NSF) was created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science, advance national health, prosperity and welfare and to secure national defense. The NSF has about 1,700 employees at its Arlington Virginia headquarters, including about 150 scientists from research institutions.
According to a 68-page semiannual report published by the NSF Inspector General, many of them spend quite a bit of time—often significant portions of their workdays—watching, downloading and e-mailing pornography. Investigators found “numerous reports” and more than half a dozen investigations into “abuse” of NSF information technology resources.
The abuse took place over periods of months or even years, according to the report, which states that one “senior official” spent as much as 20% of his working hours over a two-year interval viewing sexually explicit images and engaging in sexually explicit online chats with various women. The estimated cost to U.S. taxpayers for that one case was nearly $60,000, investigators said.

I'll take the job
even if they lower the viewing time down to 10% of the time. :)
No cost
Oh come now. The man's porn watching didn't cost taxpayers $60,000. It didn't cost a penny. It was probably a net gain for the taxpayer. If he wasn't watching porn, he might have been doing the task to which he was assigned, which was very likely a net drag on taxpayers. He did work for the NSF, you will note. It's not like he was supposed to be out repairing pot holes.

Why couldn't we just get the poor saps a few dates? Or sponsor some form of mixed couples dance...at least that would save taxpayer cash.
perhaps
gov't can create "jobs" after all...
