One of the federal budget cuts proposed by Darrell Issa of California is to stop funding research on the effect of yoga on menopausal women. Well, duh! Why do we need to study it? If you're menopausal, try it. If it doesn't work, don't do it.
Other cuts recommended by Issa include defunding research for studies of how well men use condoms, whether video games improve old folks’ mental health, the use of marijuana in conjunction with malt liquor and with opiates, and the impacts of a possible soda tax.
My advice to Congressman Issa? Don't stop there! I feel quite certain these absurdities are only the tip of the iceberg.
