Beasts on Beauty

Will Baude agrees that his experience matches Radley Balko's:

Based on personal experience . . . . I can say without reservation that in D.C. at least, libertarian women are head and shoulders more attractive, sexier, smarter, and more passionate than politically-conscious women of other philosophical stripes.

You have got to be kidding me. Let me take a brief moment to say that one's particular political orientation has nothing, and I do mean nothing, to do with physical attractiveness, sexual attractiveness, or particularly passion. Having a political orientation of one means or another may help in the passion department--being passionate about one thing often leads to passion for others--but what that passion is means very little at all.

UPDATE: Amber decides that "Anthony Rickey should understand that "passion" is obviously code for some other aspect of libertarian women that Mr. Balko saw fit not to spell out." For the subtlety-impaired, perhaps I should just put in big bold letters that yes, when I say passion above, I'm talking about sex. The idea that one's skill in the sack is somehow correlated with one's political orientation ridiculous, and crying out that "Not only are we right--we're better in bed, too" has a none-too-mature ring to it.
