It’s because of goddamn idiots like her devaluing research and the academic community that there’s good possibility I won’t get funding for grad school because government funding keeps getting cut.

So, Annemarie, it was just your way of saying I may yet live in hope of your undying affection – I am thrilled to my core.

‘OMGGMAB’ (I hope I’ve spelled that correctly), I quite agree that fruit flies are not, er, a fruitful source of conversation although given the fuss over the supposed disappearance of a few scruffy and highly dangerous polar bears, to say nothing of those brutal whales that eat up all the little fishies, I do think we could pause in our daily business and remember the sacrifice of several trillion, zillion fruit flies who have perished fruitlessly (oops, sorry, no more fruit puns, I promise) on our behalf. Incidentally, those waiting for a cure for autism from fruit flies, assuming we can all agree on exactly what autism is, should not hold their breath!

Finally (you will be relieved to read), ‘OMGGMAB’, if the ‘MacPalin’ campaign is anti-intellectual, how would you describe the wax doll of Mrs. Palin hanging by its neck? Am I to suppose that it is a witty, sophisticated, intellectual, East/West coast joke that reduces smart liberal dinner parties to whinnies of amusement? If so, how would you like a similar black effigy of Sen. Obama hanging from his neck?

And yes, annmarie, anti-intellectual is precisely the definition of the entire McPalin campaign. I prefer to refer to it as the “dumbass campaign.”

“As for being, or not being, an ‘intellectual’, I would suggest that the word ‘intellectual’ is, like the word ‘clever’, not quite a compliment in the English language…”

I DID NOT say you were an intellectual; I said you were an ANTI-INTELLECTUAL, as your comment above succinctly illustrates.

David Duff, I think this discussion belongs in another blog. I prefer to rant about Church Lady and Grandpa, not discuss fruit flies any longer. I leave that to the scientific blogs I frequent. Check them out.

As for OMGGMAB, perhaps you should ask Wordsmith about OMFG. Better yet, ask a 12 year old.

Now, back to PAP Smear Business, please Sister Wolf!! What have you discovered today?

“Wordsmith”, yes indeed, I did place inverted commas round your name on the assumption, and feel free to correct me if I am wrong, that it is a ‘nom de keyboard’ and not your real name. I was told, severely, several times, to do this by my English teacher of c. 1950-1955 because it was correct English usage. Miss Wood, a confirmed spinster of the parish, was a lady of stern disposition and not given to arguments on the stricter points of English language – her shade looms over me even to this day and I fear her disapproval very much more than yours!

Be the truth about fruit flies in Paris, Fraaance, as it may but Sarah Palin still is a stupid cow and the most blatantly incompetent ignoramus in modern politics.

I betcha she still orders freedom fries instead of french fries.
