Here's a gem for fiscal conservatives

Browsing the Washington Examiner website, I came across this little bit of information about a project conducted by the National Science Foundation.

WHO: The National Science Foundation
WHAT: NSF granted Cornell University researchers a $1.2 million grant to simulate the sounds of objects being smashed. The project will make the sounds of things breaking in movies or video games much more lifelike.
WHY IT'S AN OUTRAGE: We should spend more time making the economy more lifelike.
WHERE TO VENT: NSF at 703-292-5111.

$30,000 on a toilet seat anyone?

Your tax dollars at work.
