The LA Times knows exactly where President Obama's $110 million dollar brain initiative should focus first. Here's a hint, it's best to start small.

Courtesy of the LA Times:

President Obama wants to invest an initial $110 million in a study of the human brain that could have benefits as great as those achieved by the Human Genome Project. Maybe the first study should be done on the one-track minds of tea party Republicans, who will undoubtedly oppose funding for the study because their brains are fixated on the single idea that government can do nothing right. 

After that, researchers could move on to figuring out Sarah Palin’s brain. Perhaps they could answer this question: How can a person with so little knowledge and so little interest in acquiring knowledge imagine that she has what it takes to be president of the United States? Is it an example of the George W. Bush effect? (“Hey, if he can be president, anybody can.”) Inquiring minds want to know.

Look as much as I usually support the idea of scientific exploration, I think Sarah Palin's mind is  kind of like "Pandora's box." In other words, some things are best left locked up tight.

One can only imagine the dark twisty convoluted corridors constructed to keep her secrets hidden from view and the steel spring traps she has laid for those who would attempt to untie the Gordian knot of her  psyche.

After all this is a woman who has constructed layers upon layers of mythology to hide her true nature from public scrutiny. I don't think even Indiana Jones would have the balls to enter that death trap.

Other than that I think this brain mapping thing, and its potential for uncovering information that will help to treat traumatic brain injuries and alleviate the suffering of those with Alzheimer's, sounds amazing.

However I would also give up on trying to understand the brains of the Teabaggers. Some things science simply cannot hope to fathom.

    The other thing is, that the brains of Fox viewers are so messed up, that it might take the entire 10 million just to unravel ONE of them. I say, use the money on an intelligent brain or 3000 first, then if we get useful data, include conservatives later. And you know, this is going to be some evil fascist MArxist Muslim plot against conservatives anyway, so why waste time on them? Anyway, conservatives hate science and the governmnet, so if they gewt Alzeimer's, it;s just God's justice.

      Exactly! Study a functional brain to avoid skewed data.

      The Teaparty religious Christian extremists like Bryan Fischer are going to be against studying the brain because it might enable scientific advances and enable new technology to understand people and their physiology.

      Yes, this is the same viciously ignorant bigoted idiot who blamed the massacre at Sandy Hook school on "not enough prayer in school"

      http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/god-didnt-save-kids-because-theres-no

      You watch, they will oppose this brain research on moral grounds, because all god wants us to know can be found in the bible.

      Also, too, scientists may find new uses for brains similar to stem cell technology, or allow control of human behavior.

      Science bad, very bad. Opening Pandora's box/brain is bad, and we should all trust in god, and just let this alone

      I noticed that, too. She used to be drawn as a sexy librarian-type, even when they were making fun of her. That probably gets her goat even more than any cracks about her lack of intelligence.

      $arah's looks and her alleged "sexuality" is incredibly important to her.

      She refuses to believe that she's a 50 year old granny with wrinkles.

      She's always trying to vamp, show off her fake tits, and appeal to men, though it's painfully obvious that she's unattractive now.

      She's also very sensitive about her short stature, which is why she wears the fugliest elevator shoes the world has ever seen.

      Actually, the artist drawing of her is too kind. He left out the flies and fleas buzzing around her. Remember the infamous moth crawling out of her wig, during a Fox interview. Back in the day, there was a song out called "Maggot Brain". That is the essence of what you would find in Palin's brain, if you were to dissect it.

    8. Finally--5 years later!--Palin painted the walls of her publicly financed house something other than Wasilla-sports-center white AND she got a dining room table. After all, she must try to keep the illusion that this is a family "home."

      The wall color makes the Wasilla sports center railings look even more out of place.

    Love it, but I picture more cobwebs and bats in a dark cloudy empty space rather than ballons, clouds and a blue sky. There's nothing happy or whimsical going on in Sarah Palin's brain. What thoughts she does have are dark,petty, vengeful and dangerous.

      oh, sure.

      Question? Why did $arah buy herself a new $40,000 SUV and redecorate her office for $50,000 when she got elected mayor?

      Because she's a narcissistic diva, and her dream is to live like Ivanka Trump.

      $arah will never be anything but a D list 50 year old celebrity granny.

    Political cartoonists have been skewering people for more than 100 years -- take those in Punch and Vanity Fair in Victorian England.
    This cartoonist wonderfully captures SP: the messy hair, the belligerent chin, the empty eyes. Each, on its own, is a caricature. But the gestalt of the whole thing says "Sarah Palin" to those who know anything about her.
    Rather ugly, really, vacuous, and mean.
