Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Comment on the "Trump Releases His Tax Returns" Post


A faithful reader comments.  Thanks, faithful reader!  Great insight!
_______________________________________________

The "Trump Releases His Tax Return" clip is a perfect example of "confirmation bias".  As soon as they hear the word "Trump" they shut down whatever they are hearing and say that its "OK".  Omit Trump's name and substitute Hillary's name, and you'll get an entirely different answer.  "Pavlovian" comes to mind when I witness what is happening. This is why dirt farmers fought a Civil War to protect the very filthy rich, and were willing to die "knowing" that they were better than those slaves.
