But breaking with its tradition of burying the real news deep within its front section, The Trib put this story on the front page. Where everyone could see it, and everything!
"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, investigators said Wednesday."
The best part about that job was you could screw the entire country while screwing the oil company reps! Your tax dollars at work, people.
Also interesting to me was this story, because the family in question goes to the Übergirls' school. The wife had always been a constant at the PTA events and such, but at the end of last year became strangely absent. Does this mean I'll finally be invited to Bunco? Or to down margaritas at La Mex while making derisive comments about husbands and school policies and complaining about how tired we all are?
Don't bet on it. But a girl can dream...
