If you liked this week’s interview with Jay Heinrichs and can’t wait until the next edition of Thank You for Arguing comes out, I suggest you visit his Daily Figure web site in which he serves up figures of speech from news events, pop culture and everyday conversation with the same wit and enthusiasm you heard during our discussion of rhetoric and the Presidential race.
Given the wealth of material being generated hourly by the candidates, Jay’s been focusing on the latest election-year turns of phrase over the last few weeks. But the site also includes language lessons learned from Monty Python, Homer Simpson and even George Bush, as well as general thoughts on how to write a college essay and how to teach your kids to argue (a mixed blessing, as I’m coming to find out).
As they used to say here in Boston: visit early and often.
And tune in to tomorrow’s Critical Voter podcast when, in addition to hearing about the fallacies of the campaign, you’ll also get the chance to hear an interview with Simon Critchley, moderator of New York Times philosophy column The Stone.
