<p>This article explains why the CC conservatives are such a happy bunch. Apparently our brains’ pleasure centers are constantly flaring as we reject the copious Bush criticism. :)</p>

Using M.R.I. scanners, neuroscientists have now tracked what happens in the politically partisan brain when it tries to digest damning facts about favored candidates or criticisms of them. The process is almost entirely emotional and unconscious, the researchers report, and there are flares of activity in the brain’s pleasure centers when unwelcome information is being rejected.

<p>Driver, you are proud of the fact that your beliefs about George Bush are based on emotions and not reason.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>I think he’s being sarcastic!</p>

<p>Not sarcastic–just having a little fun! The article suggests that the theory applies equally to Republicans and Democrats, btw; if so, our Parent’s Cafe threads should be a virtual online orgasmatron for everyone. But look how typically dour is dstark’s response…it doesn’t seem to work equally well for both sides.
I think the study is pretty goofy, in truth.</p>

<p>Driver, another emotional response from you.</p>
<p>You really need to learn how to overcome this.</p>
<p>You might then start to make some sense. :)</p>
<p>Ah, but his pleasure center neurons were firing in satisfaction as he framed his dour response… ;-)</p>
<p>Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…</p>
