I actually think the funniest thing about this is that someone has been following along and meticulously cataloging material, waiting for just_the_right_moment...

 

Oh don’t flatter yourself. Any regular visitor to this site can’t miss your prose. You’re as subtle as a pushup bra in church – look at me, look at me! And that suffocating verbiage. It makes one want to run to the windows and fling them open yelling “let these thoughts have some air. Pfhttttt. Meticulously cataloging indeed.

Way to deploy the top-shelf simile, kemosabe. Awesome.

Isn't it every woman's dream to be chained to a Viking?

Using data from three waves of Add Health we find that being very attractive reduces a young adult's (ages 18-26) propensity for criminal activity and being unattractive increases it for a number of crimes, ranging from burglary to selling drugs. A variety of tests demonstrate that this result is not because beauty is acting as a proxy for socio-economic status. Being very attractive is also positively associated adult vocabulary test scores, which suggests the possibility that beauty may have an impact on human capital formation. We demonstrate that, especially for females, holding constant current beauty, high school beauty (pre-labor market beauty) has a separate impact on crime, and that high school beauty is correlated with variables that gauge various aspects of high school experience, such as GPA, suspension or having being expelled from school, and problems with teachers. These results suggest two handicaps faced by unattractive individuals. First, a labor market penalty provides a direct incentive for unattractive individuals toward criminal activity. Second, the level of beauty in high school has an effect on criminal propensity 7-8 years later, which seems to be due to the impact of the level of beauty in high school on human capital formation, although this second avenue seems to be effective for females only

Did JayB ever reveal where he got the GOP talking point of the day that prompted this post?

 

Daily Kos.

 

I would have figured you were more the DemocraticUnderground or Atrios type.
