Coburn: $500K To Study Shrimp On Treadmills, $300k To Study 'Farmville', Gelatin Wrestling In Antarctica, WTF!?!

Stephanopoulos' intro laugh for this story is uncalled for and really pisses me off. It's not a freaking joke Georgie. We're broke - 43 cents of every dollar is borrowed and you're giggling like a 4 ft. school girl with a 7th grade crush.

You've probably heard of shrimp on the barbie, but what about shrimp on a treadmill? The National Science Foundation has, and it spent $500,000 of taxpayer money researching it. It's not entirely clear what this research hoped to establish. But it's one of a number of projects cited in a scathing new report from Sen. Tom Coburn.
