Rationally thinking...

...I should probably be doing something else right now. Instead, I'm post this link to a book review in the current New Yorker about a new tome by a couple of economists discussing how people don't always make decisions in their best interest, even if the math is pretty clear. This was no surprise to. After all, it was the heartland that elected (and re-elected!) George W. Bush, and he has certainly never had their best interests in mind.
