    Rhode Island lawmaker printed out a screenshot where he had browser tabs for pornography sites visible. Claims someone else views the sites. Uh-huh.

    They're really not going to tell us what the sites were?

    Was he close to residences and people who would be happy to know that computer porn is easily accessible? Just wondering if that could have been a trigger. :cool:

    Back in the very very early days of the intertoobs a dude in the photo department of the joint where I worked discovered the wild weird world of pr0n on the net. (No it was not me.)

    He knew nothing about erasing browser history, cleaning caches, etc etc. (And of course as we all learned in short order, that's only a very partial protection.)

    Within a week he had the whole paper infected with every disgusting Windows virus existing at the time, and of course they all instantaneously auto-mailed themselves to everybody on everybody's contacts lists. It took the IT wizards about 30 seconds to trace it straight to the dude's username.

    It was a major embarrassment for the paper which had to explain why it was spreading porn viruses to news contacts, advertisers, etc etc. and cost a hefty chunk of change to clean up.

    The horny handed photog was suspended for 90 days without pay and quickly thereafter scuttled off to another job.

    (Mixed reports as to whether his departure was voluntary or not but it was pretty quick.)

    I wasn't a sooper computer genius then or now, but it took me about 30 seconds to figure out it's a real real good idea to never ever ever go to any porn sites or even anything remotely resembling a porn site, on any work computer.

    If you can't wait 6-7 hours to yank the crank, dude, buy an old fashioned porno mag and stick it in an obscure filing cabinet. For "emergency situations" which may arise.

    The guy he replaced, John Carnevale, was worse. He actually lived in a second house he owned in another district, then tried to claim legal residency by claiming he lived in the basement even though a couple was renting his house. He and the General Assembly's good 'ol boys backed Perez because a progressive woman was running in the Dem primary and she was a bigger threat to them than any Republican.
    Carnevale is also a retired cop with a bit of a rap sheet. He was once charged with domestic violence against a girlfriend, but she died (of other causes, allegedly) before the case got to court, and the charge was dropped.
    Perez, is all likelihood, is warming the seat until Carnevale's toxicity eases a bit and he can run again.

    Especially if you are a politician, none of your fun-time tabs need to have the word "teen" in them.
