U.S. Paying People to Cruise Gay Bars

We can cut funds for families of slain police officers, but we can't cut THIS program?

Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina.

The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk -- and just what can be done about it.

Doctors and specialists from the New York Psychiatric Institute are using the generous grant from NIH's National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to help tailor HIV prevention programs to work at bars and clubs.

Though public health officials say that HIV/AIDS rates are higher in Washington, D.C., than in some parts of West Africa, U.S. government funds are going to help curb dangerous liaisons in Argentina's capital.

My guess is the researchers they're using would be too well known in the Washington D.C. gay bars to be effective.

So, how do you fix the rampant HIV/AIDS infections in D.C.? I've got an idea - let's just send the D.C. residents to Gitmo and bring the terrorists to Washington D.C.
