Study finds partisan politicians not using their brains link to external site

How much money was spent figuring that shocker out, I wonder?

'None of the circuits involved in conscious reasoning were particularly engaged,' Westen said. '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.'

Google Video's interface has a long way to go before it's as usable as their web search engine. I'd like to see it succeed, but it had to provide easier to navigate search, and better quality video playback. Personally, I'd prefer to wait to download a file so I can play it at a higher resolution than have it start right away and look like crap.
