Sarah Palin gave a speech today urging the federal government to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In the speech, Palin cited the need to do more for children with disabilities such as autism.
But where will the money come from? Well from reducing frivolous spending says the lady in red:

“You’ve heard about some of these pet projects they really don’t make a whole lot of sense and sometimes these dollars go to projects that have little or nothing to do with the public good. Things like fruit fly research in Paris, France. I kid you not.”

You tell ‘em Sarah. Fruit flies are ugly, and stupid, and they eat our fruit. What’s worse, they’re sexually dimorphic. Do we really need to be sending that message to the larvae? That it’s ok to be sexually dimorphic? What about the larvae?!
Besides, why do fruit flies need 200 thousand dollars? Can’t they go on with all their fruit-eating for free? Stupid fruit flies! Researching them never did nobody no good. Except, oh yeah, autism sufferers, and just about every biological and genetic researcher — to whom the fruit fly has been invaluable.
What a moroni!
