So what was the Securities and Exchange Commission doing while the economy fell to pieces?
At least a few SEC employees were viewing pornography on their government-issued computers, according to media and government reports.
The Washington Times broke the story in February, but media blog Gawker reported Wednesday that it obtained 16 reports of investigations into SEC employees who spent as much as 1 1/2 hours a day accessing Internet sites such as skankwire.com, pokeoftheday.com and sexyavatars.com.
Gawker said that over the past two years, more than a dozen employees and contractors have tried to access porn on government computers at least 8,273 times.
