Oratorical Animal: Way to Go, Senator Rubio
http://oratoricalanimal.typepad.com/oratorical_animal/2015/04/way-to-go-senator-rubio.html
Laquo; Life With An Old Dog. The New Rhetorical Hillary Clinton ». April 15, 2015. Way to Go, Senator Rubio. In addition, Rubios stories offered a clear and succinct alternative to the current administration. It impedes opportunity; he offers it. It degrades education; he enhances it. It embodies elitism; he rejects it. He is, in nearly every possible sense, the anti-Romney. Posted at 02:25 PM in campaign 2016. You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed.

Laquo; The New Rhetorical Hillary Clinton. Thinking about the Cards, Cubs, and Sox ». May 18, 2015. Third, there is no one who is next in line. The Republicans always like to nominate a familiar guy (H.W., Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney) and, for the first time really since 1964, there is no next in line (Nixon did not run again, opening the door for Goldwater). Thats over half a century for those counting. So, what will this mean? In no particular order:. 2) How in Reagans name will debates work? Their inab...

Oratorical Animal: campaign 08
http://oratoricalanimal.typepad.com/oratorical_animal/campaign_08
December 03, 2008. Georgia on my Mind. So, the 60 vote thing doesnt mean much. A Republican incumbent Senator had more difficulty than he should have had winning reelection in a base state in a bad year. Thats the only real story there and its not much of a story. Although he is a pretty worthless excuse for a Senator, even by Republican standards. Posted at 06:58 AM in campaign 08. November 06, 2008. Ralph Nader really said that. Really.

Laquo; Why the HRC Email Scandal Matters Very Little. Way to Go, Senator Rubio ». March 12, 2015. Life With An Old Dog. But shes still the dog who pretty much saved me back when. And still does most every day in her own inimitable way. And so on we go. I know the time is likely short. I treasure it all the more. Twilight has its joys. Posted at 12:31 PM in beasties.

Oratorical Animal: Why the HRC Email "Scandal" Matters Very Little
http://oratoricalanimal.typepad.com/oratorical_animal/2015/03/why-the-hrc-email-scandal-matters-very-little.html
Laquo; Netanyahu's Rerun: Meet the New Speech. Same as the Old Speech. Life With An Old Dog ». March 11, 2015. Why the HRC Email "Scandal" Matters Very Little. Much to my dismay, much of the political discourse over the past week or so has concerned Hillary Clintons email practices. Friends, pundits, and countrymen have advanced a series of reasons why this should or will matter to voters. Ive found none of them particularly convincing. On a process level, there are several issues. Life of the mind.

Oratorical Animal: The New Rhetorical Hillary Clinton
http://oratoricalanimal.typepad.com/oratorical_animal/2015/04/the-new-rhetorical-hillary-clinton.html
Laquo; Way to Go, Senator Rubio. Size Matters ». April 29, 2015. The New Rhetorical Hillary Clinton. HRC delivered a major policy address. Yesterday on criminal justice reform. I liked the content; many of you will not. Thats not what concerns me here. The speech surprises me because it demonstrates a better grasp of the formal requirements of a campaign oration than I ever saw her display in 2008. Is our Hillary learning? Yes Let me count the ways. That is followed by another anaphora organized around, ...

Oratorical Animal: Brian Williams, NBC, and Moral Panic

Laquo; It's a Bad Start for Bruce Rauner. Netanyahu's Rerun: Meet the New Speech. Same as the Old Speech. ». February 11, 2015. Brian Williams, NBC, and Moral Panic. Should NBC have suspended a #1 anchor and a rare bright spot at a besieged network? Because, honestly, its Lorne Michaels, Jimmy Fallon, and Brian Williams. Thats about it at NBC. Now, you can cut Williams. Should they have done it? The British have the perfect term. A television presenter. Brian Williams is an excellent presenter...A Pra...

Laquo; Brian Williams, NBC, and Moral Panic. Why the HRC Email Scandal Matters Very Little ». March 03, 2015. Netanyahu's Rerun: Meet the New Speech. Same as the Old Speech. Questions of value deal with morals: Is abortion ethical? Questions of policy deal with choices: Should we cut taxes to spur the economy? A serious problem results when speakers jump without distinction between them and its an ethical problem when they assure audiences that theyre addressing one while relying on another.

Oratorical Animal: Corporate College Sports

Laquo; Ferguson and the Founders. It's a Bad Start for Bruce Rauner ». January 05, 2015. This was on top of a pretty bad year for college mens football and basketball, the corporate sports. The University of North Carolina, it was revealed, has engaged in a massive academic fraud for the past two decades to keep its players eligible. Florida State has resolutely ignored crimes committed by its athletes, with the full cooperation of the Tallahassee police department. The list could likely go on.
