Beer goggles last longer for women

For men, “beer goggles” wear off as quickly as the alcohol. But in women, the effect lasts much longer, a new study has revealed.

 Researchers found that women who drink even moderately develop a reduced ability to rate attractiveness in male faces, even when they are sober.

 Those who drank were less able to detect male facial symmetry, a marker of attractiveness and good genes which is thought to play an important role in the choice of a partner. [snip]

This goes miles in explaining liberals. The cognitive dissonance of socialist thought patterns and FLK’s becomes apparent with this study.

Obama voting, pony-tailed bike riding, Volvo loving, thick-ankled OPM spending busybodies that hold the Kennedy’s up as the new Peerage in America.

Further proof this study is accurate.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Man charged after fight with inflatable penguin

 WILKES-BARRE, December 15 — Police arrested a man early Saturday for sparring with an inflatable penguin.

Members of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department called police to their building around 1:50 a.m., after witnessing Kristopher Manik in front of the fire station, allegedly having a noisy altercation with an inflatable penguin.

Officers arrived on the scene and found Mr. Manik to be highly intoxicated, police said. He was arrested and cited for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

Penguin, really?

Did he win the quarrel?

Hard to believe that lowering the drinking age is a priority issue for college presidents.  Wouldn’t their time be better spent addressing the crushing debt loads their students take on after attending their institutions?  But similar to arguments against stepped up enforcement in the illegal immigration debate, university presidents no longer enforce the laws and then claim they don’t work:

…MADD agrees that campus bingeing is a big problem and says the answer is to tighten alcohol policies, punish violators and go after adults who provide alcohol to kids.

But Mote and other presidents can point to long lists of enforcement, education and counseling efforts that are in place, with little real impact.

I think Madd is right.  In my experience, colleges make very little to no effort enforcing the drinking age.  Boot a couple of underage drinkers and I bet things change dramatically on campus.  But nobody in the ivory tower wants to risk tuition dollars, so they look the other way.  Take 2 doses of enforcement and call me in the morning.
