Where did the Stimulus Money Go???
$219,000 of the Stimulus package went to a study at Syracuse University to Study Women's hookup patterns.
One participant in the study when asked "Do they ask you about your hookup patterns?" She replied "yea, they do." When asked,"Is it uncomfortable? she replied "Not really, cause you get $10 from it."

Dr. J weighs in on the Ruthblog.org:
Sean Hannity reports that #100 on his list of wasted stimulus money” $219,000 on an academic study of female hook-up patterns at Syracuse University. Note that the professor/principle investigator explains that hooking up is a public health problem, or at the very least, correlated with public health problems. Why, then, do we not discourage hooking up, the way we discourage smoking and driving without seat belts? Instead of spending “stimulus money” to study a preventable public health problem, why not do something to actually prevent the preventable public health problem?
Remember yesterday’s post about Sex Week at Yale? Why aren’t the administrators at Yale taxed for their share of the public health costs they are creating? (This calls to mind a bigger problem: no one makes any money from people living chaste monogamous life-styles, whereas somebody makes money from each and every problem that flows from non-monogamous sex….)

Thanks for the comment Natalie. This post is more about the frivolous spending in the stimulus package. Don’t you agree that $219K for a study on the hookup culture is out there?
