interior inspector general report says m.m.s. a government agency, gave preferential treatment in awarding contracts. what? they received improper gifts and kickbacks from industry personnel in exchange for lucrative contracts. crime inc., what? they abused drugs with coworkers and yes had sex with subordinates. the only thing missing here is a tickle party. but i bet we could find it. they are so busy doing favors and getting high, the m.m.s. still can't accurately account on how much oil and natural gas is even being pumped out of our federal land. if the royalties are being paid to you, the u.s. taxpayer. but there is your federal government regulation. by the way, the exemption last time, that wasn't dick cheney or halliburton or george w. bush. no. it was awarded on april 6, 2009. by the obama administration. oh, another thing.
