I actually had a commenter tell me once when I ran a similar story about how we need to defund and get rid of the National Institute For Health for another dumbass waste of money project.

That dickweed had the balls to say, NIH Rocks! And that it actually saved lives and created cures for illnesses. Sounds like that guy has been getting jacked up on the coke himself. NIH did none of those things, period.

Here’s another example of your tax dollars hard at work within an unnecessary bureaucracy that does nothing of benefit for the country.

Taxpayers may feel kind of blue when they discover their dollars went to fund a study to determine rats like to bop to the music of Miles Davis while hopped up on cocaine.

The study, which was performed at Albany Medical College, drew jeers from the animal rights group In Defense of Animals and landed it on its top ten list of Real Ridiculous Research.

The research found that sober rats don’t really like music that much. After the silence, the rats liked Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” more than Miles Davis’s iconic jazz tune “Four.”

But when the rats were given doses of cocaine, their tasted shifted and they gravitated toward the jazz.

Nope. I’m not even kidding. Our money was wasted on that utter ridiculousness.

And another thing… jazz sucks, and Miles Davis does too. You’d have to be higher than a kite to listen to that shit.
