In order to find a way to reopen White House tours, somebody should really be appointed the job of figuring out where to cut corners. Clearly, the $900K that was spent on the president’s weekend golfing expedition with Tiger Woods in Florida, at the rate of $74,000 per week, could have kept the doors open to schoolchildren for the remainder of the school year.
If the feds want to squeeze another couple of months’ worth of tours out of the tight budget, maybe the National Science Foundation can rescind its $876,752 grant to the University of Iowa to study the sex lives of New Zealand mud snails. During this administration at least, finding out “why any organism has sex,” apparently takes priority over White House tours for students. But then again, isn’t Georgetown University sexpert Sandra Fluke someone who should be able to answer that question without it costing taxpayers a million dollars?
Nonetheless, the purpose of the snail sex study is to see if it’s better for snails to “reproduce sexually or asexually.” Seems snails do both, which could offer hope for women who desire to have children but just haven’t met that special someone just yet.
