Personnel under George Bush bring back Animal House at the office

Now here's a fun story that everyone should read. Link

"During the course of our investigation, we learned that some RIK employees frequently consumed alcohol at industry functions, had used cocaine and marijuana, and had sexual relationships with oil and gas company representatives," the report said. Two government employees who had to spend the night after a daytime industry function because they were too intoxicated to drive home were commonly referred to by energy traders as the "MMS Chicks."

That would be the Mineral Management Service Chicks.

How about this for a salacious detail?

An "individual allegedly passed out business cards for her sex toy business at work, bragging that her income from that business exceeded her salary at the Interior Department."

"The reports also said former head of the Denver royalty-in-kind office, Gregory W. Smith, used cocaine and had sex with subordinates. The report said Smith also steered government contracts to a consulting business that paid him $30,000 for his work from April 2002 through June 2003. Smith retired from the office in May 2007."

And, Martha Zoeller says the government isn't allowing enough drilling on federal property.

Well, you could just insert the name of any conservative for Martha Zoeller, including Sarah Palin.

Back to being serious:

The findings are the latest sign of trouble at the Minerals Management Service, which already has been accused of mismanaging the collection of fees from oil companies and writing faulty contracts for drilling on government land and offshore. The charges also come as Congress and both presidential candidates are debating whether to open up more federal offshore waters to oil and natural gas drilling.

"This all shows the oil industry holds shocking sway over the administration and even key federal employees," said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. "This is why we must not allow Big Oil's agenda to be jammed through Congress."

Who wants to run the government like a corporation? Raise your hands.

We shouldn't blame the government for the temptations offered by the Devil. Blame the Devil that staged the parties, brought the cocaine, and passed out the cash.

Our society will punish the government but not the Corporate Devils.
