For a purported "leadership" conference ... Washington Post: Highly illogical: IRS training video that parodies ‘Star Trek’ apparently lacks training value The agency says the video, along with a training video that parodied the TV show “Gilligan’s Island,” cost about $60,000. The “Star Trek” video accounted for most of the money, the agency said. The IRS said Friday it was a mistake for employees to make the six-minute video. It was shown at the opening of a 2010 training and leadership conference but does not appear to have any training value.
