The babelicious theory of political revolutions

[dr. what]

Amusing but he may actually be onto something...

From the site:

The Babe Theory, first described by P.J. O'Rourke in his Parliament of Whores book:

"Best of all, there were hardly any beautiful women at the [Housing Now!] rally. I saw a journalist friend of mine in the Mall, and he and I purused this line of inquiry as assiduously as our happy private lives allow. Practically every female at the march was a bowser. "We're not being sexist here," my friend insisted. "It's not that looks matter per se. It's just that beautiful women are always on the cutting edge of social trends. Remember how many beautiful women were in the anti-war movement twenty years ago? In the yoga classes fifteen years ago? At the discos ten years ago? On Wall Street five years ago? Where the beautiful women are is where the country is headed," said my friend. "And this," he looked around him, "isn't it."

Look for the babes, and that's where the social action is, that's where the success will be.

That... explains Ann Coulter a bit...

Well I once joined this club at school because a girl I liked was in it, so this theory might have some merit to it.

Always wondered how Joe Clark (Canadian Conservative Party leader preceeding Stephen Harper) managed to hang on as long as he did. It turns out he always brought his daughter along with him when stumping; she is not bad on the eyes.
