Accountability of the Scientific Stimulus Funding

eldavojohn writes "A blog tipped me off to a government site that allows me to see where my tax dollars went when the nebulous 'scientific stimulus' was granted. You might be able to find this information in a bill, but you can click on your state in this interactive site to see what has happened locally to you. Perhaps it's a sign of more government transparency in regards to spending or just more propaganda."

    How can you not get the irony of someone bitching about the bailout while asking to be bailed out? It's like getting hit across the face by a huge freaking BAR of irony, and somehow you missed it.

    P.S. My posts are never worth reading, I'm a huge dick, like, ALL THE FREAKING TIME! I really don't understand why I keep getting modded up. Oh wait, it must be because the majority of Slashdot readers, like the majority of Americans, nay, the majority of ALL HUMAN BEINGS ON THE PLANET agree with me.
