There's a reason my wife and I didn't take jobs there fifteen years ago.
You wanted to work with embezzlers instead?

Haha, Keith Olbermann just burned Sarah Palin on her fruit fly line.

I missed that one. What'd she say?

Socnorb, that's basically what the article takes issue with.

She was mocking the government spending money on fruit fly research in NC that is actually about studying autism.

Flies can have autism? I missed this too.

[S]cientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have shown that a protein called neurexin is required for..nerve cell connections to form and function correctly.

The discovery, made in Drosophila fruit flies may lead to advances in understanding autism spectrum disorders, as recently, human neurexins have been identified as a genetic risk factor for autism.

Interesting that this article chooses to only consider Obama's plans. The Tax Policy Center, the source of many of the article's figures, concludes that Obama's tax changes would reduce revenue over the next decade (with respect to current law) by $2.95 trillion. This figure is reported. In the same table, the TPC concludes that McCain tax cuts would reduce revenue by an even larger $4.17 trillion over the same period. How's McCain going to raise that money?

this is how science is done, folks.

you won't let us have our own god-like abilities to create human clones to experiment on, so don't make fun of us when we have to use other vectors to figure out what the hell is going on.

clone hyperbole aside, just another example of how science is being marginalized in this country. Vice presidential candidates who have no idea what they're talking about shouldn't be talking about said subjects. Bobby Redneck won't ever hear the explanation, he'll just yell "they're wasting our money studying dadgum flies!!!".
