Oil Companies In Bed With The Government

It would be funny if this was from the Onion. Republican government is all about corporate profit, and the path of least resistance. But remember, the path of least resistance is why a river is crooked.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Interior Department employees who oversaw oil drilling on federal lands had sex and used illegal drugs with workers at energy companies where they were conducting official business, an internal government report said on Wednesday.

Employees at the department's Minerals Management Service "socialized with, and received a wide array of gifts and gratuities from, oil and gas companies," according to the department's inspector general, Earl Devaney.

It is really sad to watch republicans give this great country to their corporate masters profits.
