‘Coked-Up Stimulus Monkeys’

Posted on | August 5, 2010 | 11 Comments

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!

    The Anchoress found this gem of a story. It demonstrates the Chicago Way. I find it analogous to the Obama Administration.

    Somehow the most ridiculous ideas which would never even be suggested by private firms or citizens or local government agencies magically become thoroughly reasonable when they come from a college campus. No one dares call them stupid ideas, they just assume there is a point too subtle for the layman to understand.

    By today’s standards, every house on Fraternity Row when I was in school would have been awash in Stimulus cash – they had a seemingly never-ending supply of stupid ideas.
