From the Stump

I had hoped I wouldn't have to get too political on here - at least until the elections were over.

Unfortunately, the illustrious Republican VP nominee has forced me to invalidate that policy.

I give thee what may be the most ignorant rubbish that she has yet inflicted upon the news-watching American public:


The unfortunate irony here is that Palin doesn't seem to understand that fruit fly research has played and continues to play a vital role in our understanding of genetics, and has helped us in our understanding of many aspects of human health - including mental illness.

Then again, Palin doesn't believe in evolution, either, so I doubt she knows what a gene even does. "Ya know, I just don't see how those scientists in their white lab coats can tell us that those tiny little strings that only they can see in their little micrasohp thingamajiggers can tell us that those little things control what we DO, ya know? It don't affect Joe Six Pack, I can tell ya that!"

I hope against hope that she's continually called out on this to the point that neither she nor the public can deny her error. Then again, this is America, where the media are pussies and the public are drooling to lap it all up.
