From the blogads at Power Line comes this question:
Do you have the Olbermann Widget yet?
No, thank God, and I plan to practice safe sex during the coming year.

“Interestingly, the effect of [Toxoplasma gondii] infection is different between men and women,” Dr Boulter writes in the latest issue of Australasian Science magazine.
“Infected men have lower IQs, achieve a lower level of education and have shorter attention spans. They are also more likely to break rules and take risks, be more independent, more anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose, and are deemed less attractive to women.
“On the other hand, infected women tend to be more outgoing, friendly, more promiscuous, and are considered more attractive to men compared with non-infected controls.
“In short, it can make men behave like alley cats and women behave like sex kittens”.
Approximately 40% of humanity is infected with the parasite. Fortunately, we in the developed world have beer.

The Olbermann Widget. It has the right sort of ring to it somehow. Mind if I use it?
Dan, I think you broke Jeff’s blog-thingy again.
TW: program37. Come on, get with it already.
So that explains the cliche about attractive women and the loser men they date. People always wondered what they could possibly have in common… Now we know, a parasite, how fitting.
The list of things that turn out to be caused by viruses keeps growing and growing. When they find the one that causes politicians, I hope a reliable therapy is developed immediately.
