The Pentagon Sinkhole II

Senator Tom Coburn, a physician (and Republican coincidentally) has been taking some well-deserved and real pot-shots at the Pentagon lately...not exactly endearing himself to his Republican colleagues that want to continue to pour ever-increasing amounts of taxpayer dollars over the Pentagon without question. 

Among other items he has found is that the Pentagon funded an anthropology study of whether men (of course) holding pistols are considered taller, stronger, and more masculine than those holding a range of other objects, such as caulking guns, drills, saws and paintbrushes. (Apparently they are).

His report found other ridiculous items of a non-military nature that are funded by the Pentagon's largess (and limited funds from taxpayers).  Among them from the front page of the report which is available in full here:

• Running grocery stores.
• Teaching kindergartners.
• Brew beer and make beef jerky.
• Build windmills.
• Study flying dinosaurs.

 By all means...lets pour even more money on this single largest expenditure of tax dollars...and the only un-auditable cabinet-level department in the entire government!
