"Liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related anterior cingulate activity, suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern."Essentially, conservatives tend to rely on ‘persistence’ in a ‘habitual response pattern,’ despite signals that this response pattern should change... (i.e. "stay the course")
Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.
Liberal: ...generous, abundant, lavish, broadminded, tolerant, enlightened, charitable, free, advanced
Antonym:
Conservative: ...stingy, miserly, reactionary, regressive, bigoted, prejudiced, biased, narrow-minded, strict
Synonyms: obstinate, inflexible, uncreative, hide-bound, unimaginative, undaring, unprogressive, red-neck

That nice Mr. Nitwit9 is having a lot of fun over at NiT, doing exactly what he used to spend all of his time complaining about when you were there. And, of course, all of the other folks who hated you are signing on to tell him how great his shtick is. I thought I was not going to have anybody to talk to when you left--maybe I can get banned!!
Fuck. Larry. Craig.
Of course his attorney is the same one who represents Michael Vick. Wow, I wonder if Larry ever used any restrooms at the Falcons' games?
I was thinking that the Freeway Blogger might be able to use this:
"The hell with keeping the G.O.P. out of our bedrooms; please, keep them out of our Men's Rooms."
