WHO: Centers for Disease Control

WHAT: The $10 billion agency is responsible for tracking infectious diseases and preparing for potential bioterror attacks.

WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: CDC used tax dollars Congress appropriated for fighting to sponsor an erotic-writing class and a “Flirting 101” in San Francisco. The agency also hired a gay porn star for a “safe sex” promotion in Memphis.

CURE: Put an adult in charge

WHERE TO VENT: Call CDC at: 800-232-4636.
