Ignorance or Strategery?

Sarah Palin doesn't like fruit flies.  Do we know why?

Does she think they are tiny and silly and dirty and thus obviously totally scientifically useless?

Or does she worry about the implications of research that deals with genes and genetics?  Might she think fruit fly research lies on a slippery slope toward acknowledging truth in evolution?

Thank you GOOD Blog for making me wonder about this.  But why, GOOD Blog, did you react to my submitted comment so coldly?  You didn't post it.  You didn't tell me it was awaiting moderation.  You didn't tell me something technical had gone wrong.  I'm confused.  So I resort to blogging.
