You just can’t make this stuff up.
According to a study reported by CNN (which has since been removed from the CNN website), women vote according to their ovulation cycles. When a women is ovulating, she is more likely to vote for the liberal candidate.
Really CNN? Really study sponsors?
There is nothing I could possibly write about this report that would do it justice, so I bow to the humor of Stephen Colbert whose reference to “Monty Python’s The Holy Grail” is just too perfect. See for yourself in the video below.

I can assure the general public that my vote will not change based on my ovulation cycle, the position of the moon, the time of day, the temperature, the color of a candidate’s tie, what I had for breakfast, or any other factor aside from the issues that matter to me. How about you?

Thanks for this. While I would never deny the role that biological and physiological realities play in affecting the brain and behavior, I think the concept of ovulation cycles playing a profound role in voting behavior amongst women is a bit too much.
