The Associated Press reports:

“Government brokers responsible for collecting billions of dollars in federal oil royalties operated in a ‘culture of substance abuse and promiscuity’…that included influencing contracts, working part-time as private oil consultants and having sexual relationships with — and accepting golf and ski trips, snowboarding lessons and concert tickets from — oil-company employees, according to three reports released Wednesday by the Interior Department’s inspector general.” (via The Seattle Times)

Deplorable.  Once again, politicians sully snowboarding’s good name. agr uncovered this exclusive video footage of the “fraternity-house” like Denver Minerals Management Service office. (NSFW)

Utterly repugnant. Not to mention that the government permits children to hold official positions.
