A New Brain For Dr. Milburn, STAT

I'm a mental case and didn't even know it:

There's something wrong with me. Probably with you, too. Michael Milburn says so.

Milburn is a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts and the coauthor of "The Politics of Denial." He says conservatives need some time on the couch.

"We found that, particularly for males who had never had any psychotherapy, when they reported a high level of childhood punishment, they were significantly more likely to endorse a range of punitive public policies like support for the death penalty, opposition to abortion, support for the use of military force," he told Newsweek magazine.

Blah, Blah, Blah. Conservatives are so alien to shrinks that there must be something wrong with us. What bullshit. Because I don't blame everything on what my Mom said or my Dad did, and because I can deal with reality without seeing a friggin' psychologist, I must be nuts.
