Doing research.

[dynachrome]

He has good American name./s

[NativeSon]

What’s the name of the strip club at 38th, below the Chili’s ?

[Texas Eagle]

Barred from federal contracting for 6 months. That’ll learn him.

[vikingd00d]

So, after stealing $185,000 from the taxpayers, he offers to kick back $53,000 to the university and thinks that makes everything even....

[Ken H]

At least it didn’t go to waste.

[alternatives?]

Isn’t that a better use of the money than producing a fake global warming study?

(former) Professor Chika Nwankpa

What will he do now?
Go to much cheaper strip joints.

[IamConservative]

Isn’t that how Nancy says government spending boosts the economy. Government gives you dollars and you go tuck the bucks and pound beers.

[Uncle Miltie]

What a waste. Sports bars.

What, exactly, did the Navy expect the money to be used for. This isn’t hard...

My question is, “How unusual is this?”

Getting caught and having it publicized is unusual, but what about the underlying behavior?

He’s black so he’ll be given a pass. He most likely won’t even be fired.

[dfwgator]

The rest of the money he just squandered.

[fightin kentuckian]

At least the money was useful and it wasn’t wasted on something idiotic like a $30,000 recreation of Hamlet — with a cast of dogs (actually happened).

Here’s an out take of a good song from Tracy Lawrence.

“Some was spent on Gambling,
a lot was spent on women
A Little on some good Cabernet
Three or Four divorces,
at least that many horses
who never left the starting gate
Diamond rings and furs,
swampland in New Jersey
That week I spent a year in LA
I hate to admit it,
I threw the rest away”

[glorgau]

At least they caught it in an audit.

The temptation to do this is large. The penalty should be larger for the purposes of suasion.

[bgill]

That’s the best use of other people’s money I’ve heard all day.
