Evolve!

[supergee]

I'm no good at detecting irony. (Doctors call it irony deficiency anemia; we call it American blood.). So I really don't know if this National Review writer is taking Ev Psych to its natural conclusion or cruelly mocking it when he says women should support Willard Romney because he is a Real Man who produces sons rather than a sissified wimp with two daughters, like Dubya Obama.

Amanda Marcotte in Salon reviewed the piece and suggested:

Reading the piece in its entirety, however, it becomes clear that when Williamson claims that Romney's out-of-touch bully arouses "women," he means "Kevin Williamson."

As for me, when I see the words "evolutionary psychology," I substitute "horse manure." Algebraically, it works.

That word substitution works a lot of the time.

I never can tell Salon and Slate apart either.

Ooooooops!

(Both begin with the letter S and have 'a' as the principal vowel and are similarly laid out, but damn!)

I remember mocking those ads, and now we're the target market.

Social Darwinism um FTW? Never mind that one of those daughters is adopted. (So what does that say about W, then?)

Silly people are silly.
