I’ve been saving this great picture for weeks, just waiting for the right moment to blog about it — but communications guru Andy Goodman beat me to it with a dead-on critique in his Free Range Thinking newsletter.

But I won’t begrudge Andy for scooping me. I’ve been reading his newsletter for years and I’m a big fan. In fact, I have modeled much of the approach for this blog — blending research, theory, and critiques of concrete examples — on Free Range Thinking. It’s an enduring and constructive approach to addressing the community’s PR needs, a welcome contrast to flash-in-the-pan blowhards like Lakoff, Shallenberger, Nordhaus, Mooney, and Nisbet who dispense criticism so freely and offer useful suggestions so rarely.
