Taxpayer Money Being Used to Determine if Online Dating Services are Racist

Somewhere, some chucklehead has a high-paying job he shouldn't have.  Look at these unbelievable examples of waste from "The National Science Foundation".  From Tom Coburn, Senator from Oklahoma.

Examples of the more than $3 billion in waste and duplication outlined in the report include:

• $80,000 study on why the same teams always dominate March Madness;

• $315,000 study suggesting playing FarmVille on Facebook helps adults develop and maintain relationships;

• $1 million for an analysis of how quickly parents respond to trendy baby names;

• $50,000 to produce and publicize amateur songs about science, including a rap called “Money 4 Drugz,” and a misleading song titled “Biogas is a Gas, Gas, Gas”;

• $2 million to figure out that people who often post pictures on the internet from the same location at the same time are usually friends; and

• $581,000 on whether online dating site users are racist.

And talk about waste.  Look at the atrium at the National Science Foundation
