I'm on rhetoric, today, for reasons which will probably not become clear at this juncture. There is some top notch stuff out there on the Interwebnet - check out the master of making being completely dogsexed look like a great moment in British self-definition, Winston Churchill. Or gape and gobble at the mad skillz of the Tony. Consider the oddly familiar opening of Nelson Mandela's liberation speech. Or, for an oldy but a goody - and a short one - try the Gettysburg Adress, a veritable Standard firework assortment of rhetorical gimcrackery.

And now you too can promote status-based hierarchical oppression through public speaking, with these handy and fun progymnasmata!
