There’s a reason why I devote a segment of my show each and every day to the asinine ways in which the governments spends our tax dollars. The sad fact is that it is the easiest durn segment to do … because there is never, ever a shortage of ridiculous material.

For many non-talk radio listeners, this GSA Las Vegas junket story may be the first time in their lives they have ever considered that the government is wasting their tax dollars. Let me clarify that statement … most of them don’t care how the government spends taxpayer money because they, themselves, do not pay any taxes. They are moochers. But as Darrell Issa said in the beginning of this GSA investigation, “this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

I mean, looking around the Internet today, here are a few examples of how the federal government is wasting your tax dollars.

Here we are up in arms over $800,000 spent by the GSA … how about $ 7 million? That’s how much money our government has shelled out to create an HIV-prevention website for homosexual men. The National Institutes of Health has given millions in grant money to a team of researchers at the University of Minnesota to create a website called Sexpulse. The purpose of the website is to attract “men who use the Internet to seek sex with men” and educate them about the risks of HIV. The website is said to include a graphic image of homosexual sex and a Space Invaders-style interactive game that uses a penis-shaped blaster to shoot down gay epithets. There’s $7 million of your tax dollars.

You may also remember the outrage from the National Institute of Health that I told you about sometime last year. This organization granted lord knows how much tax payer money to fund a study of the effect a gay man's penis size has on his sex life and general well-being. No, I’m not kidding … “The study reported, among its findings, that gay men with "below average penises" were more likely to assume a "bottom" sexual position, while those with "above average penises" were more likely to assume a "top" sexual position. Those with average penises identified themselves as "versatile" in the bedroom,” according to FoxNews.

Here’s another example of how the government wastes your tax dollars. The National Institute of Health also awarded a grant to the Albany Medical College to study the music taste of rats. The results? They discovered that sober rats don’t really like music all that much. But after giving rats doses of … cocaine … the rats preferred the musical stylings of jazz artist Miles Davis. Other studies being done, thanks to your tax dollars, include one to examine the sexual habits of hamsters! Researchers at Lehigh and University of Michigan determined that putting hamsters on a diet didn’t increase their appetite for the opposite sex.

This is what you get when you have big government – it exists without limits, always growing, forever coming up with ways to spend your money in order to justify its pathetic existence.
