Your tax money at work?

I noted with little interest that Obamanation's gob'mint spent $835,000 of our stimulus money on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex.

The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011.

This brings two questions to my old head.... first off: What the hell does the gob'mint think they are stimulating with this waste of our tax dollars? And secondly.....

How much more stimulating it would have been if they had used that same $835,000 and gone to an American manufacturer these hand operated, non-electric washers, purchased 21,000 of them at $40bucks each and installed one on every major street corner in Africa!!

CNSNews asked the lead investigator the following question: : “The Census Bureau says the median household income in the United States is $52,000. How would you explain to the average American mom and dad -- who make $52,000 per year -- that taxing themto pay for this grant was justified?”

Neither the neither the lead investigator or his assistant replied.

Note for you non-golfers, what you are seeing is a pole mounted golf 'ball washer', but I think with a little adapting, and taking the plunger out of the circular brush hole, it would serve the purpose needed for this project.....
