Big (Sexy) Oil

Breaking news this morning of widespread corruption within the agency involved in issuing the country's offshore drilling leases.

According a story in today's Washington Post, investigators have found that Government brokers responsible for collecting billions of dollars in federal oil royalties operated in a "culture of substance abuse and promiscuity" that included having sex with energy company employees, accepting lavish gifts and rigging contracts to favored firms.







Looks like the environment isn't the only thing getting screwed...

Get the whole story in today's Washington Post and Denver Post.

Great blog. However, you might want to change the gratuitous prostitute photo so you don't alienate/offend potential supporters. Just a suggestion.

Hey, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it? Sbobet Sbobet Casino

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. Sbobet Casino Online
