There's not an office drone alive who hasn't shaken a fist in the air and yelled "Khan!!!" upon learning that his employer had finally gotten its act together and installed an Internet filter. Most corporate executives don't realize that we need to offset each TPS report with a clip of people nailing themselves in the genitals with fireworks.Hopefully, you'll be gratified to know that, aside from an elite team of "new media" specialists, White House staffers suffer under the same draconian strictures as we do. Asylum has learned that White House staffers can't access Twitter, Facebook, personal email or a host of other Internet time-wasters.
How far up the ladder do these restrictions go? After the jump, see the Obama administration heavy hitter who exposed this satisfying nugget.

This is typical of government internet policy to keep the employee's from introducing virisus and such into government systems. You see the same in the military. Besides, all those sites are nice for keeping in touch with people, but pretty lame and a complete waste of time otherwise. If they can't live without it for 8 hours a day at work, they have issues and need mental help.

All this amounts to is nothing more than a very clear and cut case of discrimination on the part of their boss.If I were them I would push it to the next level and file legal action on their part.If he can use it thne they can use it plain and simple.There is no conflict of interest involved.

The White House staffers are not allowed to use Twitter ... but they are encouraged to post their talking points on the Daily Koz, the Huffington Post and on the Al-Jazeera boards. For fun they watch internet porn .... jackasses, all of them!!!

I think its pretty obvious that if you cant stay off sites not pertaining to work while your on the clock, then your addicted to the internet. If I we're an employer, I wouldn't block non work related sites. I would log the times you were on em over your break/lunch period minutes and dock your pay by that amount. Then when it started lookin like your not even a full time employee, then I'd start lookin for one.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS MOVE. IF OBAMA CAN TEXT ON HIS BLACKBERRY WHY CAN'T HIS STAFF GO ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK...ETC. MAYBE HE WE CHARGE THEM FOR GOING ON THESE SITE LIKE HE DID HIS GUEST AT A LUNCH WITH THE CEO OF COMPANY HE INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE...OBAMA IS TWO SIDED HIS SIDE AND HIS CHEAP SIDE....
