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

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.

“To manage this dramatic increase without an increase in staff required us to significantly reduce our efforts to investigate grant fraud,” the inspector general recently told Congress in a budget request. “We anticipate a significant decline in investigative recoveries and prosecutions in coming years as a direct result.

Interesting.  And this comes as a surprise or shock to people?  And you wonder how terrorism is starting to eek it’s way into this country?  There’s your answer people.  Porn.  It’s because of porn that people’s brains are cloudy all day.  It’s because of porn that the mind is taking elsewhere just long enough to thwart any kind of threat that gets in the way of a hacker or terrorist.

And what else does porn do?

It makes people use excuses, lie, get kicked out of marriages.

For instance, one senior executive spent at least 331 days looking at pornography on his government computer and chatting online with nude or partially clad women without being detected, the records show.

When finally caught, the NSF official retired. He even offered, among other explanations, a humanitarian defense, suggesting that he frequented the porn sites to provide a living to the poor overseas women. Investigators put the cost to taxpayers of the senior official’s porn surfing at between $13,800 and about $58,000

Humanitarian defense!  Man that is rich.  Honestly, how often do you think George Bush was surfing porn and how much do you think it cost to cover it up?  I’m going with at least a million dollars.

See, this is the stuff that taxpayers really need to know about.  How much is our own President costing us while he surfs the internet for porn?
