Brittany Was Bad Last Night

But I didn't think it was this bad.

Meanwhile, this study explains so much.

Science Proves Lobotomies Can Cure Conservatives.***

Conservatives tend to crave order and structure in their lives, and are more consistent in the way they make decisions. Liberals, by contrast, show a higher tolerance for ambiguity and complexity, and adapt more easily to unexpected circumstances.

The affinity between political views and "cognitive style" has also been shown to be heritable, handed down from parents to children, said the study, published in the British journal Nature Neuroscience.

The match-up was unmistakable: respondents who had described themselves as liberals showed "significantly greater conflict-related neural activity" when the hypothetical situation called for an unscheduled break in routine.

Conservatives, however, were less flexible, refusing to deviate from old habits "despite signals that this ... should be changed."

Isn't the Science of Political-Science cool?

Scientists also discovered that Eight out of Ten conservatives have zero sense of humor, unless you count laughing with George W. Bush and not at him -- which actually proves the point. (Yes, that means you, too, "Stretch".)
