First Person: Looking for liberals? Follow brains

For several years I've been listening to folks of the conservative persuasion going on about the liberal bias in the media, in Hollywood and among elites on the West and East coasts. There's no denying that liberals outnumber conservatives on the two coasts. It is also apparent if you work in certain fields like education, the arts, or high tech that liberals also greatly outnumber conservatives there, too.

I'm all for open and free discussions on the subject, but from all the anecdotal evidence around, one thing seems to be obvious: Liberals are where the brains are, and the brains are where liberals are.

Yup. A newspaper actually printed an opinion piece arguing that people who don't agree with the author are stupid. If this isn't evidence of liberal bias in the media, I don't know what is.
