No, really. And thats just scraping the surface of this hilarious article from the National Review's deputy managing editor Kevin D. Williamson.
Clearly an attempt at snark, but it gives you a great idea of what passes for snark at the NRO.

It is a curious scientific fact (explained in evolutionary biology by the Trivers-Willard hypothesis — Willard, notice) that high-status animals tend to have more male offspring than female offspring, which holds true across many species, from red deer to mink to Homo sap. The offspring of rich families are statistically biased in favor of sons — the children of the general population are 51 percent male and 49 percent female, but the children of the Forbes billionaire list are 60 percent male. Have a gander at that Romney family picture: five sons, zero daughters. Romney has 18 grandchildren, and they exceed a 2:1 ratio of grandsons to granddaughters (13:5). When they go to church at their summer-vacation home, the Romney clan makes up a third of the congregation. He is basically a tribal chieftain.
Professor Obama? Two daughters. May as well give the guy a cardigan. And fallopian tubes.
From an evolutionary point of view, Mitt Romney should get 100 percent of the female vote. All of it. He should get Michelle Obama’s vote. You can insert your own Mormon polygamy joke here, but the ladies do tend to flock to successful executives and entrepreneurs. Saleh al-Rajhi, billionaire banker, left behind 61 children when he cashed out last year. We don’t do harems here, of course, but Romney is exactly the kind of guy who in another time and place would have the option of maintaining one. He’s a boss.
Please keep this up NRO. I strongly encourage this to be the first in a series about how Obama's a girly man and women fall head over heels for 'tribal chieftans.' Which I will be happy to link here without personal comment for all to enjoy.
I mean really, how could there be a 20 point gender gap after the National Review's Kevin D. Williamson has made so much sense?
10:53 AM PT: Kos member Trobone points out:
"the entire argument is - Mitt's been a boss his whole life, and comes from a family of successful bosses, and the President hasn't, therefore Mitt should be president.
He even goes on to say Romney should embrace the rMoney meme, and simple go by R-MONEY."
Correct. Williamson's point is that since women instinctually worship men with power...Romney should embrace his incredible wealth in order to win over female voters.
This is what passes for a reasoned thought on the National Review these days.
