Democrats and Republicans Both Adept at Ignoring Facts, Study Finds: "Democrats and Republicans alike are adept at making decisions without letting the facts get in the way, a new study shows.

And they get quite a rush from ignoring information that's contrary to their point of view."

I found this article through Slashdot and I thought you would all appreciate it. It would appear that we partisans, as I am sometimes, are a little addicted to being partisan. I especially enjoyed this quote:
"Essentially, it appears as if partisans twirl the cognitive kaleidoscope until they get the conclusions they want, and then they get massively reinforced for it, with the elimination of negative emotional states and activation of positive ones"
WHEEEEEEEE!
