Tax dollars fund shrimp on treadmills, Jell-O wrestling

Report says federal research agency mismanaged $3 billion

The Senate’s top watchdog on government waste, in a new report Thursday, said taxpayer money has gone to fund such programs as Jell-O wrestling at the South Pole, testing shrimp’s exercise ability on a treadmill and a laundry-folding robot, all funded by the National Science Foundation.

2012, we want our country back

2012 is the year for Ron Paul!

The headline grabbing stories of misspent tax dollars

aren't the most outrageous misallocations. The reeeeeeeeally big ones that are right in front of us are the important ones. Three words: Military industrial complex.

Actually, I would prefer....

that to spending on the TS(S)A and the enforcement of the Patriot Act. Alas and alack, we are required to put up with both!

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

McCain has the wrong type of birds in sight: Angry Birds are the type!
