The Curse of Ugly

Do pretty people get all the breaks? According to a recent study, yes - and it begins when we're babies. The report is kind of sketchy, but still interesting. Maureen Dowd - one of my liberal guilty pleasures - has posted some interesting comments on the report. Perhaps this is why I am underpaid in my profession - or maybe it's because I work for the United Methodists who are renowned for underpaying their staff, but that couldn't be it - it must be because I'm ugly.
