As a follow-up to my post drawing attention to this paper, I've noticed that _Time_ magazine also has an essay on it, probably published immediately after they spotted my note on TIPS.
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1968042,00.html The author, John Cloud, refers to a study which found that physically stronger men tended toward a belief in the use of force to solve personal and international conflicts. Identifying this with a conservative philosophy (a bit forced, perhaps), Cloud concludes his piece with this bit of advice: "If you are a liberal who believes you're smarter than conservatives, you probably shouldn't bring that up around them. You might not like them when they're angry." Which suggests that it might not have been a good idea for Ed Pollack to have, as he said, send the article around to his right wing friends, even if he did get a lot of pleasure out of it.
