$71,623 to study how monkeys are affected by cocaine: stimulus money at work
From Hank:
"Harry Reid says “no one can do more” for Nevada. But Nevadans had no idea Harry’s plan of “more” meant spending millions on coked-up monkeys and exotic ants! Even worse, he’s doing all this while our state is ravaged by the worst foreclosure rate and highest unemployment rate in the nation.
Here’s what Harry Reid counts as “stimulus . . . "

The Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was awarded $71,623 to study what the report calls, ‘Monkeys Getting High for Science.’”

Oh my. Way back in college, which would be in the late 80s, I did a speech in my Public Communications class that mentioned cocaine and its effects on monkeys. Too bad it wasn't taped and available on YouTube...could've sent it to Sen. Reid and spared everyone...especially the monkeys.
Or, better still, he can send me the money and I'll come up with something! $70K will buy a few school supplies, maybe even some Crayolas.
"Too bad it wasn't taped and available on YouTube..."
Try to recreate it and post it!
