$70,000 Coked Out Monkeys - Courtesy Of Your Stimulus Money

  
 You always hear about tax-payer stimulus money being wasted on this and that, but I think I found the proverbial "straw that broke this camel's back."   It actually came first from ABC's John Karl on Good Morning America, where he highlighted a new report by two Republican senators (kind of strange, considering they spend money on some idiotic shit too) on EXTREME examples of waste in this "essential" stimulus bill.   Karl rattled off some jaw dropping data: "$71,000 (out of your paycheck) for researchers at Wake Forest University to see how monkeys react under the influence of cocaine. "  The two senators informed viewers that they released their news report "exclusively to ABC." I want to see if NBC or CBS is going to follow up  on this story.   Doubt it.
