Anything goes

There was an interesting quote toward the end of this NYT editorial about the Interior Dept. today talking about the Minerals Management Service of this article fame. The quote was from the department's Inspector General where he said

“Short of a crime,” Mr. Devaney said, “anything goes at the Department of the Interior.”

Right before that, it said:

According to Mr. Devaney, officials accepted gifts, steered contracts to favored clients and engaged in drugs and sex with oil company employees.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that about everything in that list is in fact a crime. If Mr. Devaney doesn't think so, I know of some NBPD officers who would disagree.

Dude, those NBPD officers are the same ones who sped past us one night when you mistook my brake for a clutch. I even think the tires chirped a bit. They cant be that smart.
