Someday I need to actually go inside.
From the Mercury News by way of Boingboing...
I am not commenting on the article, I’m just encouraging the use of the phrase “cognitive dissonance”.
Poll shows that Bush supporters lie to themselves to feel better: reg. req. link (boo!)
“A majority of supporters of President Bush mistakenly believe that the President supports the Kyoto global-warming treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the International Criminal Court, and the treaty banning land mines, when he in fact opposes them. A majority of Bush supporters also think that most of the people on the world hope the President is re-elected. This is not the case.”
“Apparently, to avoid this cognitive dissonance, Bush supporters suppress awareness of unsettling information.”
Also, “apparently” looks really funny when spelled correctly.
