Hat tip to Hawaiian Libertarian for these gems from The Onion. I suggest reading his whole post as several others were included there. I chose these two because they particularly highlight the fundamental problems with American women. First, a riff on a positive body-image Barbie knockoff; hilarity. This illustrates the fact that women who wail about body images and the media are barking up the wrong tree. Read more…

Dominant men are prone to violence and aggression. There are doubtless many biological bases for this, including testosterone and nitric oxide levels. Research may have found another however, a genetic variant of a gene named MAOA, aka the “Warrior Gene” (hat tip to blogger Male Chauvinist Woman at Female Misogynist). Read more…

Billy Mays died today. As much as I hate infomercials you have to admire the guy’s legacy. The below are posted in memorium.
Buy when there’s blood in the streets. I personally feel we have a ways to go, at least in my market, before the bottom is reached, but this strip sums up the intelligent investor’s approach admirably. People have been sold a myth by the Realtors association that caused them to take outsized risks with great leverage, a fool’s errand equivalent to gambling on your credit card. When everyone says it’s a sure thing, it’s not. Be a contrarian in your investments. Little is more emotional for people than home ownership and as such it is important to take a step back and analyze the cost/benefit equation rationally. Good for a laugh though.

A study on mice found that inhibition of nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter, led to increased aggression, often fatal between males. Another effect was persistent sexual advances even where females were not receptive. It seems that both of these behaviors are linked:
Back To TopJohns Hopkins University scientists have discovered a genetic basis for violent and excessive sexual behavior in male mice. They found that male mice lacking one particular gene are unusually violent, attacking each other relentlessly and sometimes fatally. Equally surprising, the male mice without that gene display a dramatic sexual persistence toward females, refusing to back down even when rejected by females not receptive to mating. Read more…
It’s well known that men are attracted to an hourglass shape in women, yet with obesity rampant and rising in America, such exemplary specimens are becoming more difficult to find. Size inflation has become a national pastime. In the popular media, we continually hear how men should overcome their nature and give “real women” meaning BBW’s a chance. Fat chance (pun intended) of that happening, despite the outcry that big is beautiful. If the feminist propaganda were to be believed, appearance is irrelevant and we’re just brutish dogs for being so shallow as to judge a woman by her appearance. While that may be the case for such things as hiring decisions by a company, it is not and will never be the case for dating and mating. Read more…

With the National Health Care bill before congress the cost of health care has been on everyone’s minds lately. Despite outspending other nations by orders of magnitude our level of national health is nowhere near as stellar. First our spending:
Back To TopCurrent estimates put U.S. health care spending at approximately 15.2% of GDP, second only to the tiny Marshall Islands among all United Nations member nations. The health share of GDP is expected to continue its historical upward trend, reaching 19.5 percent of GDP by 2017. Read more…
We are rapidly approaching a time when fewer men than women will be employed. This is because the rate of job loss for men since this recession began is four times greater for men than for women. Furthermore, the jobs being lost are disproportionately in construction, manufacturing and the world of finance, all realms that have predominately attracted men. What jobs are being retained? Low-skill, low-pay and low-stress jobs, mostly part-time and without benefits, which have typically attracted those low career-commitment women whose primary focus has been family. Also the low-pay government sponsored jobs in social work and education that women are so attracted to (if you can rely on someone else to pay your bills making the big bucks is less relevant apparently).

Research shows that parental behavior assigns greater value to attractive children. Apparently the care and protection provided to beautiful kids far outweighs that given to sub-par offspring. Doubtless these findings will be vociferously denied by any parents asked because they highlight a very non-PC trait we all possess: prejudice against inferior genomes. We all (some secretly) value beauty highly, yet are told that we’re all the same precious unique snowflakes, equally good despite our sometimes monumental divergences from the norm. While we all ought to be treated as equals in the eyes of the law, nature suffers no such illusions in the dog-eat-dog world of genetic competition. Read more…
