'Miss me yet?' asks billboard George W. Bush

Heard about the "Miss Me Yet" billboard featuring a waving George W. Bush?

It's not fake, as many Web sites initially claimed. Thanks to Bob Collins, a Minnesota Public Radio reporter in Minnesota, we not only know that it's real and watching over I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., but we even have an answer -- well, part of the answer -- to the bigger question: who paid for it?



Mary Teske, the general manager of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising reports, "The Bush Miss Me Yet? billboard was paid for by a group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them. They wish to remain anonymous. They thought it was a fun way of getting out their message."

The Power of the Placebo Effect

With all the talk about the high cost of healthcare, I look at the endless drug commercials on prime-time TV and see some quick and easy spending cuts! My doctor ALREADY knows because he's continuously hammered by sales reps at his office. And he certainly doesn't need ME asking him about drugs.

What the doctor SHOULD be studying is how powerful the brain really is if it believes "there is a reasonable expectation of getting better."

A great read from Wired Magazine: 17.09 Placebos are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers are Desperate to Know Why.
