Now we know how the Obama cabal came up with the text of that monstrous “health care” bill. Take the old probability scenario with an unlimited number of monkeys in a room with an unlimited number of typewriters, add an unlimited supply of cocaine, and voila!

I’m glad Coburn and McCain are bringing this to the publics attention but I’m sorry I still believe that McCain is part of the problem in D-C. He had a chance to stop this from happening and he did nothing but cowtow to the middle of the road in the 2008 election. As far as I’m concerned anything he does from here on out is tainted. Just like how he’s all the sudden concerned about illegal immigration in Arizona when it was just a couple of years ago he was championing a bill to give them amnesty. Sorry John you need to go along with about 104 of your senate pals.

Used to be that anything we got was 65% PLUS…now they are using the good stuff for monkeys.( Ya suuure, it is for the monkey study…) ( Ahhh…for the old days…) How does the study reflect reality if the monkeys have a USDA approved source? It presses it into the hypothetical where the monkeys are compared to people who do not have access to the government drug locker.
Unfair!!! Monkeys on really good clean dope have little in common with people whom have to suffer product which has been stepped on so many times that it reeks of tennis shoes… lol
Therefore, I disqualify the study on the grounds that it’s relevance is dubious granted the only decent distributor is not available to the general public.
Ha.

Davidson College professor Mark Smith received $67,000 to have a custom home built for his addicted rats.

No amount of work will convince me McCain is suddenly NOT progressive. Anyway… THANK GOODNESS we’ll finally get to the bottom of Monkey Cocaine Addiction.

The setup is beyond transparent, but no, I gotta take a pass on this one.

Oh c’mon, you know you want to.

NO !….. Stop it…… You can’t make me.

Look, the snark writes itself. You even said it a few times here.

STOP IT !!…… I’m not touching this with a ten foot pole…… or a nine foot spoon.

Dear Lord. I think I about choked on my own uvula from laughter.

Somebody please tell me they are at least requiring the researchers to submit to weekly drug testing.

Their focusing on trivial wasteful make-work projects. Sad to say, this was the ‘good’ part of the stimulus bill.

The real outrage, and the vast majority of the money, was spent on redistribution of wealth and bailouts of states. The day it passed, Obama was on TV proclaiming that over 1/3 of the bill was for ‘tax cuts’. What tax rate did they lower? Well, none, of course, because in ObamaSpeak “cutting taxes” = raising refundable tax credits. His % was about right, over 300 Billion in increased, or new, refundable tax credits. They also removed the requirement to work even part time to qualify for some of them (well, not technically, what they did was drop the annual income requirement to $0 from about $12,500).

Number of new jobs created by paying people not to work = 0

The hundreds of billions distributed to the states went mostly to the states in most need, Blue States of course, which was used mainly for paying debt owed on Medicaid and also to plug budget gaps – which means they didn’t have to fire public employees (mostly unionized) or deal in any meaningful way with their out of control spending and outrageous benefits packages to unionized public employees.

Number of new jobs created by filling State budget holes = 0

All we hear about when ppl complain about how wasteful the stimulus was is about the makework highway projects and these idiotic earmark type spending idiocies, but the $ figure for all of them combined is trivial compared to the redistribution and state bailout parts of the bill.

Oh yeah, and if you really want something to outrage people over on the Stimulus bill, point out that they slipped the funding for “Comparative Effectiveness Research” into it, a year before Obamacare passed. This will be our equivalent of the UK’s government rationing board (at least they have the cojones to call things what they are). If you still don’t get it, this will be our “Death Panel”. So, technically, the D’s were right to deny that there were no death panels in Obamacare, they’d already created it in the stimulus bill.

If we’ve gotta know how cocaine affects monkeys, why not just ask Robin Williams?

Personal experience, plus he can communicate reasonably well with the scientists…

Sorry, but we’ve been through this before: politicians drawing up lists of government-funded research involving monkeys, fruitflies, certain worm types, etc, etc.

I’ve been involved in medical research for nearly 30 years, and I keep having to explain this over and over. Many (if not most) new medical breakthroughs involve studying chimps, rats, fruitflies, worms, etc. To lay people, that just seems silly, almost preposterous. But that is how the research is done.

If you want to argue how economically “stimulative” it might be to continue a particular research study, be my guest. Just don’t laugh at the coked-up monkeys because they’re coked-up monkeys.

Because I haven’t heard him go to Winston-Salem and say: “This was a stupid idea.”

I can see why Congress and this administration would want to know how cocaine affects the behavior of monkeys. Seriously. No, SERIOUSLY.

If the researchers can determine how monkeys will act and what affect cocaine has on their decision making processes, then they could report back to Congress their results, thus allowing Congress and this Administration the ability to determine how THEY will act and forecast their own decisions, based on that research.

Cuz, we all know that the Dems have been acting like a bunch of megalomaniac, cocaine addled, paranoid-schizophrenic primates with delusions of grandeur.

The whole lot of them.

are the people who make the decisions as to where the money goes. I don’t find any of this the least bit amusing! This crap happens in all administrations, and I do not understand why it is tolerated.

Having been employed in urban law enforcement for over 36 years and having worked in Homicide and other Death Investigations from 1982 thru 1996, I conducted a study which establishes that the unlawful abuse of cocaine equals significant crime. Now, that said, where’s my money?

back to every tax form filed each person would have approximately $5000 cash. when you consider there were 155 million tax returns filed that would have stimulated the economy a 100 times more than what the Obama plan did. Money in the hands of the individual is what keeps the economy thriving. It’s called the free market.

How many members of Congress are going to participate in this study?
Spiff

It is possible to despise McCain, Goober, and still be glad they are helping Coburn. The reason the Dimocrit congress could not take the place of the monkeys was their prerequisite brain damage membership requirement kept messing up the curve. One of them got so high he almost told the truth. JD should be able to replace one monkey— you do not challenge a guy whose wife has a half a billion dollars when you have a low limit visa card.

Just study Obama and coacaine instead of monkeys and cocaine.

Obama is already a self admitted former coke head. Let’s study in what ways that affected his mind.

Just checked Recovery.gov and they claim that this project reported “0.43″ jobs created as a result of this award. This may explain the inflated numbers of jobs “saved or created” by the Obama Stimulus plan.

Monkey See, Monkey Snort!
