Wait, what??

Im a... liberal???

According to a controversial new study, set to be published in The Journal of Political Psychology, the bedrooms and offices of liberals, who are generally thought of as open, tend to be colorful and awash in books about travel, ethnicity, feminism and music, along with music CDs covering folk, classic and modern rock, as well as art supplies, movie tickets and travel memorabilia.

Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to surround themselves with calendars, postage stamps, laundry baskets, irons and sewing materials in their personal spaces, according to the study. Their bedrooms and offices are well-lighted and decorated with sports paraphernalia and flags—especially American ones.


And Grif is a conservative. Nyahahahaa!! What a load of crap! Dont these 'scientists' have better things to do? (What the hell's wrong with Scientific American?)
Needless to say, not all experts are on board with the subtext of these conclusions. Political scientist Evan Charney dismisses links made by the studies between personality and ideology. "There's a lot of bad science here," says Charney, a fellow at the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy at Duke University.
Yeah, you tell 'em, Evan. And while youre at it, ask SciAm why they published this crap. But go ahead and read the rest of it. It's a hoot. Scientific American has turned tabloid.
