Rusher was a conservative writer and activist, and the publisher of National Review in its first few decades.  Although he mostly dropped off the public stage after retiring from NR in 1989, he had latterly been involved with such Cato-friendly groups as the Pacific Research Institute and Pacific Legal Foundation. From the Wall Street Journal‘s obit-itorial: In the early 1960s, Rusher and others built the foundation for what became Barry Goldwater’s successful run for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1964. While Goldwater lost, his candidacy signaled the conservative ascendancy within the GOP that culmina...

I predicted, for example, that the Nasonex bee character would start "Tweeting like a little bird" (see "Nasonex Bee May Usher In a Whole New Way to do FDA-friendly Pharma Tweets").I did a Twitter search for "nasonex" and discovered that there is indeed a @Nasonex_Bee Twitter account that describes the fun-loving mascot this way: "Flying around pushing overpriced prescription meds, and showing up on your TV screen in obnoxious commercials far more often than you can actually tolerate me." Below is the screen shot of the account's twitter home page:Obviously, this is a fake Twitter account.Brand mascot impostors are rampant on Twitter according t...

With the passing of Michael Jackson (music, mostly in the 1980s), Farrah Fawcett (movies), and Ed McMahon (The Tonight Show and Star Search), the world has lost some significant talent. Each, in their own way, contributed something special and unique to their field. You couldn’t have grown up in the 1980s and not been affected by Michael Jackson’s music (regardless of whether you liked him or not, doubtless one of your friends or girlfriend/boyfriend did). The later recriminations against Michael Jackson and his alleged interest in young boys no doubt will tarnish his otherwise popular rock career. Farrah Fawcett was, for better or worse, an icon of female ...

Can you relate? To some these resisters  act as cogs in rusty status quo wheels. To others they seem to hold sanity in circles that could spin out of control … with untested changes.Both workers and managers though ... tell horror stories about change resisters who prime their brains daily for sticking to the old.  Regardless of needed improvements where they work … some people resist renewal in the most subtle habit building ways. How so?Glance around you at the images walls and you will likely see images some people see daily that inspire or halt change.  Are there icon...

Icons and images project on mental screens within your brain to indicate how you’re doing. They’re often pro or con … but rarely both.  Just as war begins with images of greed and violence … harmony begins with portraits of hope, for instance. Interestingly, your spatial intelligence draws from these images on either side … to help you solve daily problems. Which icons drive your workplace today? 1. You’ll meet icons for Columbia's noose and Ohio's guns in the morning news today.  Images for cutting down others ... at Columbia .. or Ohio.  What about where you work? Racism is not what ...
