Probably a great number of factors left out of this, but what the heck.

MISTRESS OF SCIENCE! Mwah ha ha ha. (Actually now with PhD, but Doctor of Philosophy just doesn't have the same evil ring, does it?)

I've seen this debunked ... somewhere. I need DevonThink for my actual brain.
I also read a debunking attempt. Not sure if this data is valid ... but not sure it's not.
This confirms something I suspected...once smart people make enough money, they move to Hawaii.
Can something be true without being valid?
Don't freak my mind drlizardo! I like to think of the 'true' as the combined sets of what we understand and do not yet understand. I like to think of 'valid' as a social construct. However, I think we can swap both definitions. In Delaney's book 'Dhalgren' there is, I think, a quote like: "You have confused the true and the real."
And let's not forget Bill Clinton's explanation of W's actions in Iraq: "It's more important to be strong than to be right."
I'm not sure if that's accurate, but having lived in half a dozen "red states," I can at least provide anecdotal evidence to the fact that the IQ level "seems" lower. This is supported by the fact that whenever I watch the news, I'm always muttering, "what the hell???"
