	George Lakoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In recent years he has applied his work to the realm of politics, and founded a progressive think tank, the Rockridge Institute.
		Lakoff began his career as a student and later a teacher of the theory of transformational grammar developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Noam Chomsky.
		One article distributed this way is "Metaphor and War: The Metaphor System Used to Justify War in the Gulf", in which Lakoff argues that the particular conceptual metaphors used by the first Bush administration to justify American involvement in the Gulf ended up either obscuring reality, or putting a handy conservative spin on the facts.
