When I saw the link at Memeorandum, I did a double take: ...

From the halls of social science, a theory: “Sex Appeal May Have Hurt Sarah Palin.”

The conclusion is based on interviews with 122 undergraduates. Basing anything on interviews of undergraduates is suspect to me. This is research?

“We hypothesize that focusing on a woman’s appearance will promote reduced perceptions of competence, and also,...

The New York Times is running a profile story on Eric Cantor, Republican congressman from Virginia, and House Minority Whip. By NY Times standards, this is a fairly soft piece; certainly not the hit job the Times has run on other Republicans. Nonetheless, the story should be taken as a first...
