Porn-busting = Pork-busting
All the talkers are roaring this morning about the SEC employees spending their time on porn. "Sixteen Thousand Files! Had To Store DVDs In Boxes!"
Juicy, yes, but misses the target. And not accidentally.
The problem isn't the "senior employees" watching porn, the problem is that SEC management didn't have anything better for the senior employees to do, obviously didn't care what the senior employees were doing.
If SEC had been enforcing the laws during the last few years, there wouldn't have been a spare minute for talking or porn or any other leisure activity.
This story must have been planted in the media by SEC itself. Same principle as the idiots who stir up outrage over earmarks and pork-barrel spending ... if you can keep the voters pissed about trivial peccadillos, you can get away with serious crimes. ¶ 9:30 AM
