I'm not sure this is what they meant by "stimulus"

We're finding out where some of those stimulus dollars went. And there are some embarrassments on the list of recipients of grants from the NEA.

<<< The National Endowment for the Arts may be spending some of the money it received from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund nude simulated-sex dances, Saturday night "pervert" revues and the airing of pornographic horror films at art houses in San Francisco.

The NEA was given $80 million of the government's $787 billion economic stimulus bill to spread around to needy artists nationwide, and most of the money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession.

But some of the NEA's grants are spicing up more than the economy. A few of their more risque choices have some taxpayer advocates hot under the collar, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, "the world's only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla." >>>

Of course, when the economy is bad, even porn house employees worry about keeping their jobs. Aren't you proud that federal dollars are helping out this important American industry?
