  • What the Hell Does Orly Think She's Doing in Hawaii
    What the Hell Does Orly Think She’s Doing in Hawaii: An attempt at a concise summary of the ongoing Hawaiian antics of Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq v. Loretta Fuddy and Dr. Alvin Onaka Circuit Court for the First Circuit, State of Hawaii Civil Case 11-1-1731 “Petition for a Writ of Mandamus and Request for Inspection of Records Under United Information Practices Act, Statute 92F, State of Hawaii” NOTE: This document contains several links to Dr. Orly Taitz’s website. Dr. Taitz’s website has been known to trigger malware warnings on several occasions, and is often blocked by net nanny and safe browsing software. Click on links at your own risk. NOTE: Due to the highly unpredictable nature of Taitz’s legal antics it can often be difficult to figure out which case she thinks she is arguing. Her default setting on those rare and special occasions when she gets to perform her art in front of a judge seems to be “all of them”. As a result, this timeline includes all of her known interaction with Hawaii State agencies, Hawaii State courts, the Federal District Court for Hawaii, and any filing in any other court that attempts or has attempted to compel or coerce the Hawaii Department of Health into doing anything at all. Also included are references to any and all relevant court or administrative hearing rulings. This is based on the theory that it is likely that Orly will attempt to reference some or all of these activities/events/filings/imaginary animals during any future hearing or court filing.

THE CASE OF THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART (TDS) by ELENA-DANIELA (DANA) NEACSU A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies Written under the direction of John V. Pavlik, Ph.D And approved by ___Michael Schudson, Ph.D.___ ____Jack Bratich, Ph.D.______ ____Susan Keith, Ph.D.______ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Political Satire and Political News: Entertaining, Accidentally Reporting or Both? The Case of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS) by ELENA-DANIELA (DANA) NEACSU Dissertation Director: John V. Pavlik, Ph.D. For the last decade, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS ), a (Comedy Central) cable comedy show, has been increasingly seen as an informative, new, even revolutionary, form of journalism. A substantial body of literature appeared, adopting this view. On closer inspection, it became clear that this view was tenable only in specific circumstances. It assumed that the comedic structure of the show, TDS ’ primary text, promoted cognitive polysemy, a textual ambiguity which encouraged critical inquiry, and that TDS ’ audiences perceived it accordingly. As a result I analyzed, through a dual - encoding/decoding - analytical approach, whether TDS ’ comedic discourse educates and informs its audiences in a ii manner which encourages independent or critical reading of the news. Through a multilayered textual analysis of the primary and tertiary texts of the show, the research presented here asked, “How does TDS ’ comedic narrative (primary text) work as a vehicle of televised political news?” and “How does TDS ’ audience decode its text?” The research identified flaws in the existing literature and the limits inherent to any similar endeavors.
