I try, and I try, but I can't comprehend this one: basically, while our financial system was melting down, our financial watchdogs were watching porn.
According to reports that came out last week, employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission were, quite literally, playing with themselves while my retirement account was vanishing. That pisses me off!
Apparently, one senior attorney at SEC headquarters in Washington was logging 8 hours a day on porn sites while he was at work. One accountant, a woman, viewed porn sites 1,800 times in two weeks. Another employee made 16,000 attempts to view blocked sites in one month.
Out of 31 serious alleged offenders, 17 were senior employees who made between $100,000 and $222,000 a year.
Makes Tiger Woods seems like an innocent little pussycat, doesn’t it? And the comparison begs the question of whether serial cheaters like Tiger and Jesse James are really sex addicts.
I mean, Tiger was at least working 8 hours a day and winning major tournaments while getting his action on the side. These idiots at the SEC were working full-time with their porn. It makes one wonder if the people around them didn’t notice that productivity had taken a nosedive.
I love what author Mike Leahy said about the SEC boys (and girl, apparently). The author of Porn Nation: Conquering America's #1 Addiction, he candidly said on Good Morning America, “Trust me, these guys are addicts.” And for those who must know exactly HOW in the name of Hugh Hefner someone could jeopardize a $100,000-a-year job with pictures of things that make some people lose their lunch, click on Leahy's link. He explains it well.
But really, I'm not so interested in how those folks got to be so addicted to porn. I’m just wondering if the whole mess could have been avoided if Bernie Madoff and the boys at Goldman Sachs had just been wearing leather chaps and spiked collars while they were screwing with our financial system.
Come to think of it, Bernie's prolly wearing chaps these days. Punishment for the SEC idiots should be having to turn their retirement funds over to Bernie's investment expertise.
That would give me a little satisfaction.

Bernie's probably wearing a chascity belt if he can get one! You expressed my thoughts exactly on the SEC nuts...we can expect even more from them when the financial reform bill passes.
