The Truth is Complicated

 Sloganeering, platitiudes, 'gotcha' politicking - everyone recognizes it and everyone complains about it when it's aimed at them. It takes real dedication to avoid it. The way to proceed, I believe, is to avoid the desire to be humorous or cute in the midst of a serious political discussion. Avoid negative mental habits, fear or hate mongering and demonizing the opposition. Remember the truth in physics is simple; in politics it's complicated. If you can't name your views, the opposition's views and a third view, then you don't adequately understand the topic. The posts here will, at times, be lengthy but I will also support them with ample references, usually in the form of links, so that the reader will be left with more than just my position on a topic, but hopefully some information beyond that.

McCain Backers Testosterone Levels Dropped After Loss

 According to this story, ( http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp... ) men who backed McCain in the last election had a drop in testosterone levels when they learned their man had lost the election to Barack Obama. Further, Obama backers had no change in testosterone levels that night, despite the fact that men's testosterone levels usually drop at night. Hence, say experts, the "no change" result for Obama backers equates with an actual rise in the hormone.

Yeah, I think this explains a lot, especially all the b***ing since the election.

Sorry ladies, no offense intended.

 

Okay, okay. I just thought the story was funny. No baiting intended either, fellas!!

On a brighter note, what little testosterone these guys and their fans had took a hit on Wednesday.

There are still no liberals who can whip me and damn few conservatives...Yeah..My testoserone levels are still just fine.

dril makes a good point with the picture he posted.  Studies have also shown that men who root for a particular team in a Super Bowl and if that team loses, those men's testosterone levels drop as well.  While I can't scientifically confirm if my testosterone level went down after Wednesday night's defeat, the non-scientific study that I did showed that my BAC level went up dramatically.

Moto if I've learned one thing in my 50 years is no matter who wins it takes longer to recover.

Djembe it must be really hard on ones testosterone to not be able to hold down a job and make a living. For someone who tries so hard to make people think they have this high IQ yet you're unable to hold down a job. I can see how confusing it is to you.

Wow... this is the lamest blog.

MOTOPOET suggests he would resort to violence and beating liberals; and RWESTFALL makes a personal attack about Dj. 

Thus proving the joke of this blog... how FUNNY. 

posted by rwestfall on Oct 23, 2009 at 12:49 PM

My comment was not a personal attack on anyone. The comment is public knowledge from a post made by Dj himself on or around 9/19/2009. My comment is a non-scientific study I'm doing. But a C for effort defyinggravity.

rwest but you then used the information to belittle him... and say he's less of a man because he can't provide for his family.  Information is one thing.  But how you use it is another.

i call BS because i dont know anyone that would admit they are a McKENNEDY backer......

and the ones backed him in the first place never had a sac to begin with

Too true Learnem.  Where the H are the McCain believers anyway. 

posted by defyinggravity on Oct 23, 2009 at 04:16 PM

the McCain believers are now rallying in the palin camp.  Why?  Who knows... The woman is insane.

posted by Neverleft on Oct 23, 2009 at 04:20 PM

There are very few McCain believers.  The great majority of the votes he received were voting for the "lessor of two evils".

So true Neverleft..so true.

Well defyinggravity where were are when Djembe constantly belittles anyone who is a conservative? I don't see you saying anything in defense of anyone but Dj. Maybe you've missed those blogs where we've been called ignorant and hate america?

Wow. I don't think this post is funny anymore, either.

How....

 

Disappointing.

 

Especially you, moto.
