The Stimulus Joke


This time the joke is on the taxpayers. $700,000 in stimulus funds was spent creating computer software that tells jokes.

ABC 7 reported:
A research professor at Northwestern University is defending a more than $700,000 stimulus grant he has received to create computer software that tells jokes.

Professor Kristian Hammond says it’s serious work. But some critics say using stimulus money for this type of research is no laughing matter.
