So does this mean that we have to question whether Hillary really is the smartest woman in America?

...in a recent conversation with Hamermesh I discovered that he is sympathetic to ugly people who want laws to bar the discrimination.

Just for reference purposes:

Hey, I'm ugly as the north end of a south-bound mule but it never hurt my work.

But then I was a Marine and in that type of work ugliness is probably an asset.

Irrational? Not at all.

Interesting study found that the closer a person's facial features matched this overlay graph, the more attractive they were perceived to be.

The family founders, in 18th-century Frankfurt, were supremely ugly, but several generations later, after successive marriages to supremely beautiful women, the men in the family were indistinguishable from movie stars.

This isn't exactly something that buttresses Seligman's already-fishy argument. There are a number of web sites (to say nothing of the supermarket tabloids like the Enquirer and Star) that routinely publish photos of movie and TV stars without the $1000 makeup jobs or professionally-Photoshopped pictures, and suffice it to say that a very large number of them are no more attractive in real life than anyone else you might pick randomly off the street ... and a sizable minority are downright unappealing.

"...New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, concludes that less attractive children are discriminated against by their own parents...."

Too many potential smart-aleky comments to choose from.

Maureen Dowd would come to such a conclusion, because she is of the leftist mindset. Her ilk feeds their friends, and starves their enemies, just like Stalin.

Normal thinking people treat everyone on an equal basis, and treat them according to their actions and not their looks.

The left discriminates in every area of life, and persecution of the non pretty people in grade school is where their leftist mania takes root.

The left is better than the rest of us, they deride and degrade all those that are foolish enough to fall to their mania, then they profess to be the saviors of those hopeless people they created through years of ceaseless torment.
