How ridiculous can the Republicans get? Grassley is using his testimony time on the stimulus package on the following pressing issue:
An employee at the National Science Foundation was caught spending 20% of his time viewing pornography on an NSF computer.
This employee was fired, but Grassley insists the culture of the NSF must change. He has introducted an amendment to the appropriations committee specifying that the budget of the NSF be suspended until the NSF director proves to Congress that the NSF is not viewing pornography. Further, there needs to be a plan and legal oversight to make sure that pornography is not going on at the NSF.
Grassley opposes granting stimulus funds to the NSF because of this "issue."
Go Grassley, for having identified the root of immorality and exploitation requiring prime time Senate attention.
