Guns still blazing....the new Sheriff continues cleanup!

The mayor is about to announce that up to nine DC government employees have been terminated after they were found to have visited an egregious amount of pornographic sites during 2007.

An investigation was conducted by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer. The investigation began September 15th of last year after the city got a complaint from an employee about co-workers browsing and downloading pornographic content on government computers.

My only question is what exactly is an egregious amount. This is another area that needs to have zero tolerance. I am glad the Mayor has stepped up to the plate, but I prefer a home run rather than a single.

It would seem the necessary action has been taken, but what about tomorrow or the next day or the day after that? I know that there are ways that url's can be blocked by any server. I don't know how they do it, but I know they can.

In my office, I am blocked from myspace, youbet.com and other sites. Someone has put that company firewall in place.

I think that Mayor Fenty should take the money saved by firing those rascals and pay someone, preferably one of the little guy contractors to come in and explain how to put up the url block on all government computers.

Now, if they had a computer at home...they could use gotomypc.com and do what they want on that machine. Perverts are cheap, they probably use the money on mags or illegal dvd's. I can't imagine anyone with any sense fulfilling the title of "wanker" while on the job on the companies computer. Of course, I don't understand the sick puppies that visit public libraries to get their jollys online while sitting in a room of high school kids doing homework.

Hmmmm....I don't really understand much about them. They have no regard for public standards of decency. They support industries that are notorius for their abuse of women. They include folks that can not quite understand the difference between child and adult.

You know what....Mayor Fenty, this may be bigger than busting the thieving bastards at the tax office. I am liking your style!
