From the protect the wild-life people about her campaign against polar bears.... it showed some pretty gruesome pictures and took a shot at her and Chaney by implication..

It must be the last two weeks of October......



Two ways to look at the fruit fly gaffe (Great Blue - 10/25/2008 12:18:29 AM)
Serious:

"Studying the common fruit fly - Drosophilia melanogaster -- lets us conduct more sophisticated experiments than can be undertaken in humans. These simple organisms can be grown cheaply in test tubes, fed on yeast, corn meal and molasses, yet their embryos, which can be seen with the naked eye, undergo many of the same developmental processes as larger creatures. Thus, they can serve as models, allowing us to observe details we can't see in more complex animals."

Not so serious:
What's the difference between Sarah Palin and a fruit fly?  No, not lipstick.
One is an annoying pest, and the other is useful in genetic research!

November 4th CANNOT come soon enough!

Looks like the GOP has gone to the dull normal well once too many times.
