RE: How NOT to Vote on a New Budget

Karen—in your latest blog you wrote:

"...two lawmakers are spotted playing solitaire, one is held captive by the world series highlights and box score, and one is on Facebook. Also, it also looks like the one the far, far right is on Yahoo email."

Having worked in the private sector for almost twenty years, I can tell you that personal websites such as Facebook and Yahoo are blocked on corporation websites if the corporation is a publicly-traded company (at the very least, all of the public financial firms I worked at). So why are public "servants" allowed to have access to these unsecured (as far as the possibility of confidential information being sent in and transmitted out) websites?

Okay. It's a stupid question. Please forget that I ever asked it.
