Been Fooled Again, The Search Continues
Congratulations to Ms. Stacy Villescas (Running Down a Dream's resident Beatles expert) for correctly naming "Here Comes the Sun" by the Fab Four as the Thursday Song of the Day.
I realize that I'm dangerously close to replicating the "Chris Farley Show" segment with Paul McCartney in my frequent promotion of NY Times columnist David Brooks, but until further notice, he has taken a place in the Running Down a Dream author/writer/columnist Hall-of-Fame.
"In reality, we voters — all of us — make emotional, intuitive decisions about who we prefer, and then come up with post-hoc rationalizations to explain the choices that were already made beneath conscious awareness. 'People often act without knowing why they do what they do,' Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize winner, noted in an e-mail message to me this week. 'The fashion of political writing this year is to suggest that people choose their candidate by their stand on the issues, but this strikes me as highly implausible.'"
