1. An excellent illustration of why those weird sounding research projects

are important!

2. I was also confused about McCain going on and on about the projector

in the planetarium. It was as though he was against science. I mean what's a planetarium without projection? And why is Palin zoned in on autism when Down Syndrome is her child's disability? Not that there is something wrong with that, but why not be upfront about something that is more dear to her heart?

4. The planetarium should do a similar video (nt)

6. but why not be upfront about something that is more dear to her heart?

She doesn't know the difference. The Lord is all she needs. "Lord make a way!"

3. Nicely done!

May I suggest throwing a music bed under it and cutting it down to 1 min...?

5. D. melanogaster

here's to drosophila melanogaster, the lowly fruit fly that could take down Sarah Palin! maybe she needs a good dictionary when she begins to spout her utter nonsense:

drosophila |drəˈsäfələ|
noun
a small fruit fly, used extensively in genetic research because of its large chromosomes, numerous varieties, and rapid rate of reproduction. • Genus Drosophila, family Drosophilidae: in particular D. melanogaster.
ORIGIN modern Latin, from Greek drosos ‘dew, moisture’ + philos ‘loving.’

7. She don't need no sciencifying!

She has her witch-hunting pastor and the Lord!

She's a complete know-nothing. She doesn't only need a dictionary, she needs a high school science class.

8. Chuck Heath...

was a science teacher! how could Sarah not know that the fruit fly is such a useful entity?????
