This is actually a man's thing."

Newsmax anchor Eric Bolling: "According to a study, shorter men tend to have more psychopathic traits. These really, really anti-milk, pro-soy, anti-beef eating liberals want you to mate with potential psychopaths." Also gets bonus points for showing this amazing graphic.
