Congressman West's unemployed brother could not be more opposite. He seems a genuinely nice man.

He was just on in a clip from the CBC's job fair in Atlanta. After he suggested to his brother he could use some help finding a job. West sent him to Maxine Waters and told him to ask her for help. His suggestion was peppered with quips about plantations.

2. Ah, more of that family values hypocrisy from a right winger. Who didn't see that coming?

If nothing else, you'd think he could give him a job working at his district office in Florida.

These Republicans make me sick.

5. Yes, he seemed like a very nice man. Wonder why a man who owns

a pizza chain couldn't hire his own brother when he needed help? You would think he could make a job somewhere.

Political Views Reflected in Brain Structure


Amid the looming prospect of a government shutdown, the clock is ticking for Democrats and Republicans to strike a deal. But new research suggests brain differences might make it hard for the parties to see eye to eye.

Using MRI scans, scientists at University College London found structural differences in the brains of people with liberal and conservative political views. The study was published today in Current Biology.

"Previously, some psychological traits were known to be predictive of an individual's political orientation," lead author Ryota Kanai from University College London's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience said in a statement. "Our study now links such personality traits with specific brain structure."

Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth, who discussed the notion of the "political brain" in a BBC Radio 4 interview in January, was also an author of the study.
