The Daily Outrage: Next up: A shrimp marathon

WHO: National Science Foundation WHAT: Awarded $3 million of grants to the College of Charleston, S.C., which used the money to discover that shrimp can run on a treadmill for up to an hour without getting tired.

WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: With the federal government trillions of dollars in debt, one could easily imagine worthier uses of government grant money than shrimp treadmills.
