    Oh dear, the misspent money meme, based on distorted blurbs from the rightwing media.

    Is this supposed to persuade us of something other than that the ********** despise complexity and knowledge?

    Of course the headline is sensational but here are excerpts from the rest of the article:

    "In a stunning waste of money, the U.S. government is actually spending $400,000 to study gay sexual behavior in Argentina bars."

    "But the federal government wastes money every single day in a thousand different ways.

    Just check out some of the ways that the U.S. government wasted money in 2008.....

    *$1,529,220 for an Appalachian Fruit Lab.

    *$742,764 for olive fruit fly research. $211,509 of this amount was to be spent in Paris, France.

    *$172,782 for the National Wild Turkey Federation in Edgefield, S.C.

    *$1,128,000 for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Alaska Eagle River for an at-risk youth mentoring program. That is one expensive Big Brother program! There must be a lot of at-risk youth in Alaska.

    *$50,000,000 for REAL ID grants. Got to be sure to track and trace those unruly American citizens!

    *$123,050 for a Mother's Day Shrine in Grafton, West Virginia (population 5,489, with a land area of 3.8 square miles)."
