"To ask why the President of the United States would have a sexual encounter with a young woman is like asking why someone who worked very hard to earn a large sum of money would then spend it. What distinguishes Bill Clinton is not that he had extramarital affairs while in office -- others have, more will; it would be a Darwinian puzzle if they did not -- what distinguishes him is the fact that he got caught." -- Alan S. Miller Ph.D. and Satoshi Kanazawa Ph.D., "Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature", Psychology Today, Jul/Aug 2007 (Adapted from Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters, by Alan S. Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa, to be published by Perigee in September 2007.)

Too bad the rest of that article is a mushy misogynistic piece of crap. Various of the feminist blogs I read have done adequate takedowns of it. I'd Google them up for you, but I'm zonked.

Also, mind whatever someone says if they use words like "Darwinian" where they mean things like "evolutionary." It's a damn good hint they're playing fast and loose and possibly lonesome, ornery, and mean with the science to boot...
