Funny Sad

One of my friends at the Sonlighters Club posted this link.

"Man on the Street" interviews in Harlem about why residents are for their favorite candidate. It is funny and sad all at the same time.

It "turned out" that the interviewees were all for Obama, but I'm sure it would work both ways.

In essence, we find . . .

"I'm for my man no matter what!"

"Why?"

"He's my man!"

"Even if . . . ?"

"Absolutely!"

More evidence for the validity of the idea that cognitive dissonance won't help people make rational decisions.
