wow, everything except defense spending is an earmark to these people

If elected she will set this country back a century in medical, scientific, environmental, and social advances.

Ignorance is bliss unless bestowed upon the intelligent

Chapel Hill — Neurons, or nerve cells, communicate with each other through contact points called synapses. When these connections are damaged, communication breaks down, causing the messages that would normally help our feet push our bike pedals or our mind locate our car keys to fall short.

Now scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have shown that a protein called neurexin is required for these 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.

You know you just can't say enough how truly ignorant this woman is and how screwed we are as a society that someone like this can even ascend as far as she has.

no doubt, the mccain/palin ticket is harsh on the ears

and if elected on our right to scientific research!

People gotta remember....extreme fundamentalism is against science and the truth. These people care more about the afterlife than they do with reality. People will suffer immensely due to setbacks in medical research and treatment.
