Your tax dollars at work-over and over and over

There can be some really long hours logged on by the SEC in their attempt to bring justice against that jerk Bernie Madoff. Really, really long hours. And well, sometimes the edge needs to be taken off.

So, it should be no surprise that copious (which is putting it lightly) amounts of hours were spent by some SEC employees looking at porn-at work.

Though there is one nugget of information that needs to be known:

Another accountant — a woman — attempted to explicit websites 1,800 times in a fortnight. She was found to have 600 pornographic images on her computer hard drive

Label me with whatever nasty term you’d like, I don’t care. This. Is. Awesome.

Seriously kids, this is one utterly hilarious story that you need to be laughing at, lest your mind split into two when you think about it.

Bernie Madoff free to con again in 150 years

In what must be the most disappointing sentence in the history of U.S. criminal justice, Bernie Madoff received a mere 150 years of prison time for his crimes of “11-count information charging securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, false statements, perjury, false filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and theft from an employee benefit plan.”

Worse, yet, is that our nation’s worst white-collar criminal will be held in a U.S. prison, which means he will have access to lawyers and other inmates. He could possibly escape or even plan more economic attacks while behind bars.

And the biggest blow of all? Thanks to this paltry slap-on-the-beRolexed-wrist, our economy is still dire. Don’t these justices understand that the Money Gods require blood?!
