Chasing Obsessions

Lately I've found myself even more prone than usual to random obsessions. The top two this week are Affective Forecasting and "Why Did People Who Voted For Bush Get His Positions So Wrong?" So far, the answer to thes second seems to be that the campaign did such a good job of going negative on Kerry that Bush's record and/or plans were irrelevant. Some people voted not for Bush, but against the loathed Kerry.

Anyway, my experiment here is to gather all my shiny web ephemera and bring it back here, where I can peck at it and preen, and try to understand.
