The head of the think-tank where I work believes he has discovered the secret of happiness, and he wants to share it with everyone. Don’t worry: I’m not in a cult...
Once basic material needs are met, though, satisfying work matters more than money. What people want is not just success, but also “earned success” — the feeling that one’s efforts have paid off. In a recent talk, Brooks cited a 1978 study in which lottery winners were slightly less happy six months after they hit the jackpot...
Over the last 40 years, women who describe themselves as “conservative” have been more likely than women to their left to say they are “very happy,” and those who say they are “extremely conservative” have been happier still. Over the same period, conservatives in general have held the same pattern: Righty men, too, have been happier than their more liberal counterparts. So maybe the last two presidential elections should be seen as a victory for the redistribution of happiness as well as income...
Brooks’ read is that the four great sources of happiness within human control are faith, family, friends and work. Married people are happier than singles. Those engaged in religious practices are happier than the unchurched.

And if you can’t be one, sleep with one.
“Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.” — Rush Limbaugh
Or both!
Wait, that doesn't work.
Heh, I was trying to think of a saucy riposte to that...but you beat me to it.
One thing I notice about the personalities of political liberals - nearly to a person, they will blame others for the inevitable problems that befall all of us.
Happy, Happy, Happy!—Phil Duckman
Rush is right.
Whenever I see an Obama sticker on a car, I check out the driver. If it’s a woman, she is ALWAYS unattractive.
Conservative chicks don’t get it for me, I want the real right wing ones heh. Except in college, I dated liberal chicks as they are only good in the sack. Conversation-wise, they’re morons.
But I thought you only wanted to hire Hot Conservative Women Max :P
Coming up on 39
Hmm...This statement may require some scrutiny - it doesn't pass the smell test...
Actually we did. We have a very high standard (snicker). It was very specific on the Craigslist ad XD
How did you prove their Conservatism?
My guess would be an....extensive exam. :D
Just like my homepage, 3 questions. We know how to make it subtle and not have any applicant waste our time. It’s so easy that we send our interns and have them pretend they’re the boss of the company ;P hey, it’s Hollywood, you should know how to act.
All I see is how to FIRE liberals.
Just that Conservative Chicks need to be Hot too! and we sure have alot of them :D
Amazing how much better your life goes, and how much more contented you are,
when you don’t spend your entire life fighting against how you were created.
Hey fellows, it turns out that Obamacare does cover sex change. Go for it!
