Nonetheless, there is reason to believe that strict right-wing ideology might appeal to those who have trouble grasping the complexity of the world.

“Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order,” Hodson said, explaining why these beliefs might draw those with low intelligence. “Unfortunately, many of these features can also contribute to prejudice.”

White claimed that she knew it all would come out anyway, and “I wanted to give my side of the story.” This makes no sense because 1) her side of the story is so awful, and 2) the media seldom go after stories of consensual sex unless one of the participants holds a press conference.

Dumb comment of the day. I generally like you Gail, but the media goes after any dirt on a candidate. Sure, it may only be the Enquirer, but they get their man.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled a trip to London and Turkey for international conferences on cyber security and Afghanistan because of her mother’s illness.

Clinton had been scheduled to depart Washington late Monday but decided against the trip when her mother, 92-year-old Dorothy Rodham, became ill.
A State Department official says Clinton will remain in Washington. The nature of her mother’s illness was not released.
