Are these the same liberals who fund every global warming scam that comes across their desks?

"He explained that these young women are from poor countries and need to make money to help their parents and this site helps them do that," investigators wrote in a memo.

Liberals have sooooo many excuses - for themselves...

A liberal sexually exploits third world girls, then says it’s for their own good.

Heck, sounds like all liberal aid to me.

Disturbing, but hardly breaking news.

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.

"He explained that these young women are from poor countries and need to make money to help their parents and this site helps them do that," investigators wrote in a memo.

He is now the director of charitable overseas giving at the Clinton Foundation. < /sarc, but wouldn't be too surprising>

Toss this bureaucratic nightmare along with all the other worthless central government organizations into the Potomac.

Employee misconduct investigations, often involving workers accessing pornography from their government computers, grew sixfold last year inside the taxpayer-funded foundation that doles out billions of dollars of scientific research grants, according to budget documents and other records obtained by The Washington Times.

"We were just doing research for our grant application. Really!"

Government has no business funding anything with our money.

Charitable donations used to be the responsibility of the individual. Now that government has taken over, corruption has exploded, and government hands out grants for the dumbest things imaginable, like arts, so some lazy unwilling to work pot head can take a picture of a cross in a glass of urine and call it art.

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

Damn public servants with their private offices. In the private sector, your cube would be exposed and you couldn't get away with this crap!

The way things have been going lately (AGW, for example) it might be a better deal for the taxpayers to give them carte blanche on the porn -- and cut off their grant-funding authority! ;-)

How does ANY Gov computer access Porn? DoD computers are locked down so tight that one can barely make an internet connection.

They just need to call it a “study” and get a grant to do this.

for example, think of how much carbon footprint is saved by not cutting down trees or pressing DVDs of porn and just watching it electronically.

PS taxpayers in Indiana fund the Kinsey institute.

LOL! Typical bureaucrat response. I know someone who does work for a university heavily involved in medical research. He said it is all about grant writing to get money from Uncle Sam. He said the incompetence is off the charts. Almost no oversight.

The Science Foundation can’t be very technically inclined. There are hundreds of software systems and packages for sys-admins to install on internal networks that monitor and/or block porn sites, provide summaries to supervisors, even down to the keystrokes and pages being viewed. I’m very surprised. My company invested in this 15 years ago and web abuse went to almost zero. The Science Foundation is sadly outdated and deserves this negative publicity.

I think that’s why Mother Teresa was so fond of her gigolos.
