B&S Banned at Wis. Dept. of Veterans Affairs

Political Capital has the scoop of all of the blogs banned by Wisconsin’s Department of Veterans Affairs.

After word spread at the embattled Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs that an employee was reading http://www.radiofreewis.blogspot.com WDVA ,secretary John Scocos’ aide Anthony Hardie told the agency information technologists to closely monitor other employees to see what they were reading.

Apparently, the IT staff there found a lot of employees looking at http://www.radiofreewis.blogspot.com so, p,utting this delicately, the fascist management at the agency began to filter material and block the following websites (possibly more) to keep 1,100 employees, who otherwise could view the politically informative websites and punditry from their work computers, in the dark.

For more information on Banned Political Blogs (Although WDVA administrators can still view political content on their computers) contact Hardie: Direct Phone: (608) 266-0517, cell phone 414 759-1596, Fax: 608 264-7616 or Toll-Free: 800 WIS-VETS 800-947-8387.

B&S is on the list!  Woohoo!
