NEWS: Government in bed with Big Oil, literally!

WASHINGTON - Government officials handling billions of dollars in oil royalties partied, had sex with and accepted golf and ski outings from employees of energy companies they were dealing with, federal investigators said Wednesday.

The alleged transgressions involve 13 former and current Interior Department employees in Denver and Washington. Their alleged improprieties include rigging contracts, working part-time as private oil consultants, and having sexual relationships with — and accepting golf and ski trips and dinners from — oil company employees, according to three reports released Wednesday by the Interior Department's inspector general.
Wow! :o

Seriously.. When oil companies are making millions of dollars a second, you'd think someone would of put up a law against it. But we obviously can't when.. Well. They're the ones doing it.

What I want to know is how many of the people that are against 'Big Oil' are actually working for it?
