Chucky D's meter is still running, Babe, and apparently it cannot lie:

They found strong signs of selection at lactase and HLA, and in favor of blond hair and blue eyes. [...] They found evidence for selection acting on other polygenic traits: favoring increased infant head circumference, increased female hip size, and later sexual maturation in women.

Nice to see you, Cridster.

HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) is part of MHC -- Major Histocompatibility Complex -- an immune system regulator. I've written about this.

Chucky D. appears in my column from time to time and makes a couple of appearances in the book I'm working on. The guy has serious staying power.

Something about confirmation bias:

Women’s issues promise to play an outsize role in this year’s presidential election now that the field has been narrowed to a feminist icon and a suspected misogynist. But the debate over women’s health, equal pay and family leave will continue to obscure an underreported fact: as a gender, men are in relative decline.

A key indicator of American male decline is the gender ratio at U.S. colleges. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), women accounted for 43 percent of enrollees in degree-granting postsecondary institutions in 1972. The other 57 percent were men. Forty years later, the ratio had flipped. In 2012, the latest year for which actual data were reported, women made up 57 percent of the college population, with men representing the remaining 43 percent. Further, NCES projects that the gap will widen by 2022, when women are expected to reach 61 percent of the college population. If that projection holds, America will have roughly 14 million female college students and only 10 million male college students.

Good luck, ladies, with marrying up in the future. That said, we still need roofers, carpenters, plumbers and welders...

More "security" theater. This time with the airlines asking passengers to take photos of the long lines to force some kind of change. While I hope it's change to remove the ineffective TSA screenings, it's doubtful.

I R A Darth Aggie, I know that lawyer is seen in commercials in the Gulf states (and I live on the Gulf), but something other than that, he looks so familiar to me. And I can't place him. I know I know that guy from somewhere.

But on the subject of drunk driving, this is a very interesting way of serving a sentence for DUI and vehicular manslaughter.

Take a look. You won't be sorry.

Federal politicians convicted of crimes.

Gee, when you look at it like this, both parties are the same after all.

Whoda thunkit.

Well, this oughta piss off the Israel haters.

Surrounded by enemies and hate, Israelis (Jewish and Arab) are happy and productive.

National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), women accounted for 43 percent of enrollees in degree-granting postsecondary institutions in 1972. The other 57 percent were men.

Um. Duh. I assume that if 43% of enrollees are women, the other 57% are men. I mean, I wasn't expecting hermaphrodites or asexual beings of some kind.

They assume the average reader can't figure that out without help Patrick. After all, the average journalism student can't.
