Does This Also Apply to Congress?

Until now, some federal employees have been able to get away with watching pornography at work—in one case, up to six hours a day. That may soon change if a lawmaker from North Carolina has his way, The Washington Post reports.

 Rep. Mark Meadows, a Republican, introduced H.R. 5628, a bill that aims to “prohibit accessing pornographic web sites from Federal computers.”

The bill comes in response to a revelation in May that a senior-level staffer at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had not been fired—and continues to collect pay—despite having been discovered looking at pornography “between two and six hours per day since 2010,” Environment & Energy Publishing reports.

The staffer confessed to spending hours each day watching pornography at work. Investigators discovered he had downloaded more than 7,000 files and, at one point, spent four consecutive hours on a site called “Sadism Is Beautiful,” according to the Post.

    1. As usual Pfunky, your comment is amusing as well as insightful. But, do you think any Congressman is actually at work 6 hours a day?

    1. Very funny indeed!

      Of course what jerks me off is that they are focusing on the 6 hours a day that this guy spends on horny-r-us and not the thousands of other government employees spending time on all of the other 'legitimate' web sites because they apparently have nothing to do but suck a government paycheck. This reality is apparent if you try to do just about anything through the federal government... days, weeks or months later, you may get your problem addressed. It took my wife 18 months to process for residency in the US... it took me 5 weeks in the UK... and we certainly can't say that the US is more selective now can we.
