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.
Have any of you looked at the photo archive for the NYT on tumblr? It's [link] I love the pics so much!

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.

Allyson,
If I could only be certain that you'd be waiting in vain.
