Oxymoron of the Day: BATFU Ethics

The man who recently departed as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ordered his staff to help with his nephew's high school homework, wasting the agency's time and violating ethics rules, an inquiry found Wednesday...

Fine received another anonymous letter Sept. 22 from a group that described itself as concerned ATF employees. The group argued that three ATF assistant directors also were mismanaging agency funds by commuting to work in government-owned cars, promoting relatives and arranging weeklong conferences for employees at resorts like the Hard Rock Casino in Los Vegas.

Looks like that kid'll make a fine BATFU agent, what with the ethics they're teaching him.

We actually ought to encourage this--every minute they waste is a minute they're leaving us alone.
