Okay, yeah, bla bla bla bla...

But why does everybody's report link to the paywalled Rupert Murdoch Rag? I thought single sources were supposed to be a bad thing.

Look up yesterday's shit... It is funny/tragic.

I can only ask why 95% of the people keep voting for it. That's the real insanity/tragedy. The psychosis is real. Just take a drive down the Strip

And now, to welcome the torrent of denial...

New research from Belgium provides evidence that deficits in emotion understanding and emotion management are related to right-wing and prejudiced attitudes.

The researchers found that individuals with weaker emotional abilities -- particularly emotional understanding and management -- tended to score higher on a measure of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation.

Right-wing authoritarianism is a personality trait that describes the tendency to submit to political authority and be hostile towards other groups, while social dominance orientation is a measure of a person's preference for inequality among social groups.

"The results of this study were univocal. People who endorse authority and strong leaders and who do not mind inequality -- the two basic dimensions underlying right-wing political ideology -- show lower levels of emotional abilities..."

Those with lower emotional and cognitive abilities were also more likely to agree with blatantly prejudiced statements such as "The White race is superior to all other races."

"Of course, caution should be exercised in the interpretation of such results... One cannot discredit any ideology on the basis of such results as those presently obtained. Only in a distant future we will be able to look back upon our times, and then we can maybe judge which ideologies were the best. Cognitively and emotionally smart people can make wrong decisions as well."

Well, yeah, you do have to be a bit of a sociopath to think like a "right winger". Empathy is an anathema. Besides, emotion is a woman's thing, right? But which direction will evolution take us?

Prez: No, you're not -- you'll be stone dead in a moment.

Even if the dems nominate her. I like her more than that other lady

Richard Simmons for VP

Let's bring America back from the brink!

"You can't prove a thing"

See how easy it is?

Ok, moving along... What's next on the docket?

Correction: The Russians didn't co-sign

It was the Saudis...

Hook it up (yeah yeah, spare me the details) to her brain at this moment.

Wanna do it twice? Let's try hers.

You probably saw who said that, so I don't have to mention his name.

But you know, there are all those tax and other incentives that sent the jobs overseas. He could, like, take them away? Without sounding like a crazy man? Even if he is?

What is there to say? Genius! Got the whole world in a fishing net...
