The government has spent $240,000 to study how to slow down vending
machines that dispense “unhealthy” snacks.
“This
project tests whether a novel snack vending machine system that uses brief time
delays to reduce the immediacy of reward from unhealthy snacks will improve the
healthfulness of snack choices,” according to the project description.

Think of all of the paper and trees the government could
save if they required Americans to revert to the use of corn cobs instead of toilet
paper.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. President Barack Obama signed an executive order last
week to slash the federal government’s greenhouse gas emissions, which the
White House said is the equivalent to taking 5.5 million cars off the road. Is that possible? (Sully ~ Pueblo, CO)
A. Let’s hope and pray that the 5.5 million cars have
license plates that read “U.S. Government,).
They can get rid of a lot of bad emissions by simply closing down
Congress for six months. Frankly, I
think the chances of this actually being successful are slim and none.
Q. ICE says there are 167,000 criminal illegal aliens on the
loose in this country. Why are they not
in prison where they belong? (Kelly ~
Santa Rosa, CA)
A. Because Obama doesn’t want them in prison, and that’s a
true fact.
Q. Glenn Beck has been really ripping the Republican Party
lately. I thought he was a
Republican? (Todd ~ Edmonds, WA)
A. He’s a Conservative, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s
a Republican. In fact, he says he has
quit the party and will no longer donate to them. Well, he’s exactly four years behind me. The Republican Party should be
dissolved. They’re worthless, just as
Beck says. That don’t stand up for
anything and they don’t back their words with actions. They might as well merge with the Progressive Democratic Party.
