YOUR MONEY - $800,000 of stimulus funds goes to teaching African's how to wash their man junk

(NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011.

“NIH Announces the Availability of Recovery Act Funds for Competitive Revision Applications,” the grant abstract states. “We propose to evaluate the feasibility of a post-coital genital hygiene study among men unwilling to be circumcised in Orange Farm, South Africa.” Because AIDS researchers have been unsuccessful in convincing most adult African men to undergo circumcision, the UCLA study proposes to determine whether researchers can develop an after-sex genitalia-washing regimen that they can then convince uncircumcised African men to follow.

The National Institute of Mental Health spent money on finding ways how to teach men from another nation to clean their stuff? I can't believe for ten seconds that there are still humans on Earth that don't know how to wash and need to be taught... and if there is... we could probably stand to be without them. Ridiculous!

Senator Barbara Boxer: in her own words

This woman is such a pathetic, insular, self-important, unthinking politician.. This is why we are having these kinds of unending problems, now. This type of pompous fool who cares more about her title than the American people; who thinks it's cute to disrespect the military which risks their necks for our freedoms everyday. Boxer MUST be booted out this election. And sometimes, a politician can't seem to recognize when it is better to apologize for a remark, and simply stop digging a deeper hole. See, for example, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) during a debate earlier this week.

Man fires pepper spray on protesters

What exactly is one's belief that leads them to a funeral to protest? How many other funerals were that day? What of those families and their right to return their loved one to the earth. Protest is a fashion statement these days. Our troops follow orders, bad or otherwise. There is nothing that can justify a protest at a funeral. Those people should have been arrested for disturbing the peace.

I can't believe this ! I looked around as I am amazed at what people will do these days. I am glad from what I can tell no kids were hurt. I see the pros and cons from each side because of what this church stands for. I am not all for wars but I think that the dying soldiers deserve some more dignity. Hopefully everyone fully recovers from this incident and hopefully the "church members" think twice about making noise where there should be silence and respect. Very bad situation all the way around.

Embrrassing Moments

This is the best dance routine I have ever seen.  Anyone disagree with me?

Embrrassing Moments

Something tells me that this wasn't exactly an accident.  The male skater is trying too hard to look innocent.  Apparently the woman has figured out that she is giving a peep show to the crowd since she has a nice smile on her face.  I give that skating combo a "10"
