Monday Smiles
I needed a smile today:

Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints?

The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals.

I got a huge kick out of this post.

I don't know how valid the research is, but it's not just some anecdotal nonsense.

And it's funny as hell!

I read somewhere today a line about conservatives having been wrong on the issues thoughout history. Funny, because that fits in nicely with this post.
