Anyone else have a good Earth Day yesterday? I celebrated by opening all the windows and cranking the a/c while outside I burned a pile of old tires using a 55 gallon drum of used motor oil

If you read this without saying "umm, what?" read it again... USA Today notes that a report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration shows the IRS handed out $2.8 million in bonuses to employees with disciplinary issues - including more than $1 million to employees who didn't pay their federal taxes.



As USA Today continues,

The report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said 1,146 IRS employees received bonuses within a year of substantiated federal tax compliance problems.



The bonuses weren't just monetary. Employees with tax problems received a total of 10,582 hours of paid time off — valued at about $250,000 — and 69 received permanent raises through a step increase, the report said. The report looked at bonuses in 2011 and 2012.



Employees' tax problems included "willful understatement of tax liabilities over multiple tax years, late payment of tax liabilities, and underreporting of income," the report said.



The IRS said it has instituted a policy to take conduct into account when handing out bonuses to senior executives. Making that policy apply to all of the agency's workers would require negotiations with the National Treasury Employees Union. The union did not respond to a request for comment.



"We take seriously our unique role as this nation's tax administrator, and we will strive to implement a policy that protects the integrity of the tax administration system and the reputation of the service," IRS chief Human Capital Officer David Krieg said in a written response to the audit.

So - if you are a non-government-employee who doesn't pay your taxes, you get jail and accounts frozen... but if you're an IRS employee... you get a fucking bonus!!!

One of the guys in the shop that has a tendency to scrap expensive parts and do it at the worst possible time just did it again, on a late job, on a casting that belongs to a customer. I had to let my boss know and a few minutes after telling him he came flying in thru the door and went OFF on the guy. Screaming and hollering and throwing shit...in my 15 years of working for the guy, I've never seen him that mad before.

I drove around in my '78 Cadillac (alone) and used my coal burning flame thrower to take out some ghey windmills next to the power plant with all of the windows. Later, I went back and used my oil powered shotgun and took out all of the huge windows
