1. Neanderthal genetic analysis?

Another, a variety of FOXP2, is related to speaking and the capacity to create a language and therefore suggests they could communicate orally.

Dammit. Not again.

Even Wikipedia knows that the presence of FOXP2 does not equal language ability:

Different studies of FOXP2 in songbirds suggest that FOXP2 may regulate genes involved in neuroplasticity: During song learning FOXP2 is upregulated in brain regions critical for song learning in young zebra finches.

FOXP2 has also been implicated in the development of bat echolocation.

2. This has got to be a joke.

If interpreted as such, it's pretty damn funny:

As Governor Palin and the Wasilla Assemblies of God Church will tell you, the End Times will soon be upon us. As noted in the video linked below, Governor Palin recognizes that Alaska will be a refuge for Christians in the End Times. This is why she tells us (and the Masters Commission graduates she's addressing) that the $30 billion natural gas pipeline she's promoting is God's Will.

See? This can't possibly be real:

After that, I can't muster up the legitimate fear to be seriously scared by the 'Theocracy Now' bumper stickers.
