Ya don’t say!
And it took researchers 5 years to come up with that conclusion.
“The results indicate that individuals having certain personality characteristics are attracted to bar environments that promote antinormative behaviors such as violence,” says the abstract. “However, it seems to be the characteristics of the bars that are the strongest predictors of violence.”
The researchers also summarized these results in their 2007 article in Aggressive Behavior. “As described most recently by Quigley et al., bars in which aggression occurred tended to be ‘smokier, more crowded, dirtier, darker, noisier and warmer and to have poorer ventilation,’” they wrote. “They also were more likely to have lower cost drinks, a younger clientele, illegal activities, bouncers, pool tables, dancing, and the staff tended to be predominantly male.”
So can anyone apply for research grants that conclude with the obvious?

POLL: Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not drain swamp, key voters believe. TH.
When she took the Speaker’s gavel four years ago, Pelosi pledged to run the “most ethical and honest Congress in history.” And she insists that she has done so. When pressed this year on that commitment, Pelosi interjected, “And we are.”
Really? Look what likely voters in America had to say about that “most ethical and honest Congress” The Hill/ANGA 2010 Midterm Election Poll.
Pelosi is either delusional, or tossing spin the way of the public to proclaim otherwise.

Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn’t you say?
This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.
