Its possible that some might think this is a double, because individual speeches archived here have been used in many mefi posts, but I got a bit lost here this morning and thought the whole site was worthy of attention. But, maybe not. I'm rusty at this.

very nice very nice indeed (it is a double though. however, it is such a great resource I vote that we let this stay because I would be most folks have forgotten about this in four years)

I support the immediate banning of all rhetoric from American life, and I know all good Americans agree!

What good does rhetoric serve? (I'd hope my father, who studies rhetoric, would already know about this site... but I don't see him commenting yet).

Ah, the memories. Back when I was enrolled in Public Speaking, my teacher would recommend "speech x on americanrhetoric.com" all the time.

Great site, thanks. Needs more Keith Olbermann, though.

What good does rhetoric serve? Good ideas deserve all the beauty our language can lend them.

Grandmother Simpson and Lisa (singing): "How many roads must a man walk down / Before you can call him a maaan..." Homer: "Seven!" Lisa: "No, dad, it's a rhetorical question." Homer: "Rhetorical, eh? Eight!" Lisa: "Dad, do you even know what 'rhetorical' means?" Homer: "Do I know what 'rhetorical' means?!"
