In her first policy speech she trashes autism research in France involving fruit flies. Sounds reasonable if you don't know anything about autism, or research.
Here is the truth:
1. The research was in the United States, not France. Can you please get your facts right Palin?
2. Fruit flies, like rats, are standard fare in basic research. Trashing research because fruit flies are involved is really dumb.
3. The research in question actually has shown great promise in discovering the causes of autism.
Here it all is in a revealing segment: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#27367248

Palin is so uninformed it's ridiculous. And by the way, this is like the umpteenth thing she and McCain have said would be exempt from their "across the board" spending freeze.
PS It's a hoot that she says Republicans are for kids with special needs. She should know that Bush basically screwed us on that front by delaying embryonic stem cell research for 8 years. Bush and the Republicans held up the research on religious grounds. All the while Rove was running around calling the religious right "nuts." As David Kuo, the former faith based advisor to the White House who became disgusted with the Republicans and quit revealed, these people are just hypocrites.

I think maybe you mean a noun.
LOL, I once told a poster "I hate to be a pendant...." and yes, that is how I spelled it.
It's just funny that I was correcting her and then I made the mistake.
LOL!
Not at all making fun of a learning disability here, but I would swear sometimes that I have dyslexia of the fingers when typing.
