I will readily admit that I am a cynic, so forgive me when I look at each government program and go “gee whiz, this is stupid”. But, when I saw this article, I just could not help myself–I had to share it with you guys.

The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.

Really? In the midst of a debilitating recession we are going to pay $2.6 million U.S. tax dollars in order to keep whores in China from drinking…on the job? Five things.

1.) Why China?
2.) Why US Dollars?
3.) Why Prostitutes?
4.) Why drinking problems?
5.) Why just on the job? Why not aim it at drinking or alcoholism in its entirety?
