Quoted: WallStats.com is here to serve the publics need to have complex and elusive information synthesized into palatable and enjoyable visual pieces.

Quoted: This idiot woman, this blind, shortsighted ignoramus, this pretentious clod, mocks basic research and the international research community. You damn well better believe that there is research going on in animal models — what does she expect, that scientists should mutagenize human mothers and chop up baby brains for this work? — and countries like France and Germany and England and Canada and China and India and others are all respected participants in these efforts.

Quoted: Yes, scientists work on fruit flies. Some of the most powerful tools in genetics and molecular biology are available in fruit flies, and these are animals that are particularly amenable to experimentation. Molecular genetics has revealed that humans share key molecules, the basic developmental toolkit, with all other animals, thanks to our shared evolutionary heritage (something else the wackaloon from Wasilla denies), and that we can use these other organisms to probe the fundamental mechanisms that underlie core processes in the formation of the nervous system — precisely the phenomena Palin claims are so important.

Quoted: That's right ... Iran. The Islamic dictatorship. The taker of American hostages. The rogue nation that McCain and Palin have excoriated Obama for suggesting we diplomatically engage. That Iran.

Tina Fey looks so much like Palin is freaky! freaky!
If you havent seen the SNL skit you should check it.

Quoted: Elizabeth Holmes reports from Loudon, N.H., on the presidential race. How could she not? Actress and comedian Tina Fey returned to her old stomping grounds Saturday to portray Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP’s vice presidential candidate. Fey was a cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live from 1997-2006 before leaving to write and star in the Emmy-award-winning “30 Rock.” But Fey came back to portray Palin, to whom she bears a striking resemblance. The brunettes share the same side-swept bangs and prominent spectacles. The SNL costume department only had to put Fey in a red high-button jacket and tease ...

Quoted: Senior officials from the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve on Friday informed top executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage-finance giants, that the government is preparing a plan to seize the two companies and place them in a conservatorship, officials and company executives briefed on the discussions said.
