This REALLY Makes Me Feel Good

$2.6 Million Study to get Prostitutes in China to Drink Responsibly


I had the crazy idea that there was a financial
crisis going on here in the USA. That the carefully negotiated 2008 Farm Bill was being gutted to save a tiny fraction of the amount being spent willy nilly in Washington. That we are getting universal (and mandatory) health care crammed down our throats one bottle of heavily taxed soda at a time.


And yet we can spend millions to research what is very, very clearly someone else's problem! Come on now....pull the other leg.

Chinese hookers? Please tell me you're kidding. Can't we rescue our hookers first?

I love the last sentence that they *think* the study will benefit Americans too. Surely the apocalypse is near.

If this weren't so scary it would be hysterical. But considering it's really happening I just want to go hide in the woods until this adminstration is over.

Now that is funny! Our tax dollars at work. The article says they're (sorry, we're) also spending $400,000 to determine why gay men in Buenos Aires engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk. Only in America!

Scott.

Are you freakin' kiddin' me?! And how did we even realize the chinese hookers were drunk on the job? And WE need to research this why?

Well, if we can get them to REALLY drink responsbibly, they will switch from Chinese Hootch to milk, thus creating an export market for American dairy farms.
After drinking milk instead of Hootch for awhile, their head will clear, they will begin to feel healthier, and the resulting improved self-esteem will cause them to realize that prostitution is a dead end job.
This realization will drive them to get off the street and find a job in the many Chinese factories creating the tools, Americana decor, and machinery found at Walmart and Tractor Supply stores here in America.

I see it as a win win situation.

Aw, c'mon, 3C. Don't you have a heart for drunken, foreign hookers and gay men? I mean, really, we have a chance here, using our tax dollars, to help the the underside of society. This study could help them become SOBER hookers and gay men.

That must be worth something ... to someone ... somewhere ... :)

"Responsible"? Bahahahaha...
(tries to imagine what that means exactly... while snapping more Polaroids)

Becky, yeah, that was my first thought too

Linda, thanks....I think...lol.

Jan, I thought it was pretty darned lame.

SC Momma, we have literally discussed that exact avenue of recourse for the current insanity...I wonder if there are any woods left anywhere that would serve.

Scott, yeah, I read about the first one and thought it was outrageous but kind of off topic...so I let it go. Then they added this one and I just couldn't resist. Good grief! There are so many more deserving places that money might be spent! Preferably at home!!!!

The Wife, good question. I was wonderin' if there were patron complaints in the Senate or something....

FC, I'll bet you have the answer! I like the milk part. They had better use milk imported from the USA though or there will either be leather powder or melamine in it.

Akagaga, uproarious laughter here after reading your comment...had to call the boss out so he could read it too. What a world!

anon, I am puzzled (under the outrage) by this thing...wonder what else is going to come up in the next few days about this kind of thing.

Steve, who needs TV, when the news is such a soap opera?

Id rather have them ask me what I think, so I could tell them to pull my finger, instead!
GOOD FREAKEN GRIEF!!!!
