Outrageous stupid news coming out of Congress is a near every-day occurrence. It seems like every day you hear about another idiotic waste of money.
But this? WTF?
U.S. Government Funds $400,000 Study on Gay Sex in Argentina Bars
Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina.
The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk — and just what can be done about it.
Great. Our government is paying a bunch of “researchers” — and by researchers, I assume they mean Rep. Barney Franks’ stable of young men friends — to hang out drinking in gay bars in Argentina. To figure out way gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk?
I’m guessing it’s the same reason that gay men in America engage in risky behavior while drunk. It’s because they’re drunk.
If the government wanted to save a bunch of money (they don’t) and collect the same data, they could have just had researches hang out at Rep. Barney Franks D.C.-area condo.

Personally, I’m happy that they are doing a study on what makes Pat tick.
