Congrats, Juliana and M!
I'm grading rhetorical analyses of stump speeches. My favorite one so far says,
Santorum uses another example of rhetoric when he argues that "As family breaks down, we have to build more prisons." This chiasmus says that broken homes make criminals. Santorum's claim is significant because is shows that his logic is kind of messed up. In other words, Rick Santorum is crazy.
They get the format of argumentation, even if the arguments are not quite there.

True and it made me laugh aloud, but he made a leap in logic (though the evidence is sound) without explanation which is an issue I am working on with my students.

Random weirdness. I've been communicating with a client about a project and they keep referring to it as the UKIE project, and I know they mean UK and Ireland but in my head I keep feeling like there's some kind of ethnic slur or something going on. Not rationally - just something about the sound of the word that keeps taking me aback.

Oh, juliana! All the best wishes for a wonderful life together for you and M! So happy for you.
(And did you choose the 29th of February deliberately? So that you'll have an anniversary only every four years?)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm waiting for someone to legislate that it is now illegal to be female.
