Grassley to Probe Porn




Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee has launched an extensive probe into the amount of time and resources spent by workers at the National Science Foundation indulging in online adult entertainment. According to a 68-page semiannual internal report the NFS initiated seven investigations and had "numerous reports" of the use of NFS IT in the never ending search of quality wank material. Sen. Grassley wants all pertinent documents. Why he can't get his own porn is another question. It's not surprising, naturally, that an exorbitant amount of time is being spent on porn. Mix human nature with the appeal of "forbidden fruit" add a dash of intolerance at home, throw in some cases of thrill seeking and or a lack of impulse control for flavor and what you get is a big old fashion Senate investigation stew. Although when that time spent allegedly translates into hard cash- $58,000 worth in a one case of a single senior official then some corrective measures need to be taken. Not that those good folks should stop buying. Just, you know, do it on your own time. Cam girls need to keep working too.

Sen. Grassley is also on another important mission. Investigating the snake oil salesmen, the frauds, that call themselves prosperity ministers and the sideshows they don't pay taxes on.
