They Don't Call It Stimulus For Nothing: Tax Dollars Went To Erectile Dysfunction Study May 14, 2012

Let's just call it electile dysfunction.

The fact that people elected that many Democrats in 2008, that is.

If we didn't have that many Dems in Congress, we probably wouldn't have the stimulus (sometimes called "porkulus" by bloggers whose writings you should read every day).

And part of that stimulus paid for a study about "the erectile dysfunction of overweight middle aged men and the accurate reporting of someone's sexual history."

Your tax dollars at work.

And another total waste of money. Everyone knows that the cure for erectile dysfunction in middle aged men is just to have them watch Kate Upton doing the dougie dance.

By the way, when the government gives money (in this case, $1.5 million) to the University of California at San Francisco, you really shouldn't be surprised that some of the money is spent on a study related to sex.

That's how they roll in the town that gave us Rice-a-Roni.

And what's this about "accurate reporting of someone's sexual history"? No amount of money can give us that.

The sun rises in the east. It sets in the west. Harry Reid is a doddering blowhard. And people lie about their sex lives.

Our government could have spent the whole $800 billion in stimulus money trying to fix that, and it would have been just as unsuccessful in solving that problem as it was in stimulating the economy.
