‘Coked-Up Stimulus Monkeys’

No, it’s not the name of a punk rock band, it’s what Democrats are doing with your tax money:

Harry Reid’s Plan to Save the Nevada Economy: Coked-up Stimulus Monkeys
In the face of the worst recession since the Great Depression, where has the money from Harry Reid’s stimulus bill gone to help our ailing economy? Cocaine-addled monkeys and a million dollars worth of exotic ants, according to a new report out this morning.
Other examples of how the stimulus has squandered taxpayer dollars include $750,000 towards creating a YouTube-like computerized dance choreography program; $300,000 to study the effects of “integral yoga” upon hot flashes; and $60,000 to study public perception of stimulus spending. . . .

That’s from Harry Reid’s Republican challenger Sharron Angle and — believe it or not — Democrats are actually trying to defend the cocaine-for-monkeys program. But no need to worry about the economy, folks:

Obama ‘Confident’ U.S. Will
Avoid ‘Double-Dip’ Recession

You don’t have to be on drugs to think like a Democrat, but it sure helps!
