Federal agents this morning are searching the Judiciary Square office of Washington, D.C.'s Chief Technology Officer.

The search is part of "an ongoing investigation," said a spokeswoman for the FBI's D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further.

The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was February 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said.

“First job ever? Worked as a telemarketer!”

BOL! Earlier this week I got a call from an Indian telemarketer, who could bare speak English trying warn me about something.

I laughed and told him to attend some English speaking courses.

He said that this was serious.

I gave him the phone number of our county DA to handle phone scam and told him to make a call to that number to complain about me.
