    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Simon Says by Gillian Colbert High Court: Florida Death Penalty System Is Unconstitutional. WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) – The Governor, his attorney general, and court officials across the state are all reviewing the decision from the high court that could drastically change Florida’s death penalty system. In an 8-1 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the system Florida courts have used to put inmates on death row for decades, saying it wrongly gives judges more authority than the jury. The ruling centers around Timothy Hurst who murdered his manager at a restaurant in Pensacola back in 1998. In a 7-5 vote jurors voted in favor of death, and the judge made the final decision to give him the death penalty. In the majority opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, “The Sixth Amendment requires a jury, not a judge, to find each fact necessary to impose a sentence of death. A jury’s mere recommendation is not enough.” Attorney General Pam Bondi issued the following statement regarding Tuesday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling: “In light of today’s United States Supreme Court decision holding Florida’s capital sentencing procedure unconstitutional, the state will need to make changes to its death-sentencing statutes. I will work with state lawmakers this legislative session to ensure that those changes comply with the Court’s latest decision. The impact of the Court’s ruling on existing death sentences will need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.” “I don’t think it’s a great surprise this decision came down putting Florida in line with other jurisdictions,” said attorney and former state and federal prosecutor David Weinstein.

  • Laughing at American Democracy: Citizenship and the Rhetoric of Stand-Up Satire
    LAUGHING AT AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: CITIZENSHIP AND THE RHETORIC OF STAND-UP SATIRE Matthew R. Meier A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Ellen Gorsevski, Advisor Khani Begum Graduate Faculty Representative Alberto González Michael L. Butterworth, Co-Advisor © 2014 Matthew R. Meier All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael L. Butterworth and Ellen Gorsevski, Co-Advisors With the increasing popularity of satirical television programs such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, it is evident that satirical rhetoric has unique and significant influence on contemporary American culture. The appeal of satirical rhetoric, however, is not new to the American experience, but its preferred rhetorical form has changed over time. In this dissertation, I turn to the development of stand-up comedy in America as an example of an historical iteration of popular satire in order to better understand how the rhetoric of satire manifests in American culture and how such a rhetoric can affect the democratic nature of that culture. The contemporary form of stand-up comedy is, historically speaking, a relatively new phenomenon. Emerging from the post-war context of the late 1950s, the form established itself as an enduring force in American culture in part because it married the public’s desire for entertaining oratory and political satire. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a generation of stand- up comedians including Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, and Dick Gregory laid the foundation for contemporary stand-up comedy by satirizing politics, racism, and social taboos.

  • Howie Mandel's Comedy Club Presents Greg Hahn at Hard Rock Hotel
    For Immediate Release HOWIE MANDEL’S COMEDY CLUB PRESENTS GREG HAHN AT HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO ATLANTIC CITY JULY 31-AUGUST 2 Atlantic City, NJ (July 27, 2018) – Comedy star Greg Hahn brings his energetic live show to Howie Mandel’s Comedy Club at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City for three nights starting from Tuesday, July 31 through Thursday, August 2 at 8 p.m. A favorite on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show, Greg Hahn has also appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Premium Blend (Comedy Central), Make Me Laugh (5 episodes, Comedy Central), Louis CK’s Pulp Comics (Comedy Central), 30 Seconds to Fame (Fox), Cedric the Entertainer Presents (Fox) and Star Search (CBS). Hahn has parlayed his absurdly energetic, all out style of physical humor, one-liners and crowd work into a performance of immediate pandemonium and continuous laughs. His unique stylings have led to numerous television, corporate and theater appearances throughout the U.S. and Canada. After working at several serious jobs where he refused to be serious, Hahn turned pro as a stand- up comedian and landed a job as emcee for a theme park lumberjack show. This supplied him with four audiences a day, intoxicated, ax-swinging lumberjacks, and a log-rolling dog. He continually honed his style of comedy then headed to New York City. While in New York, Hahn developed into a touring headliner and co-starred in the independent film Tomorrow Night, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Tickets to see Greg Hahn at Howie Mandel’s Comedy Club at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City are on sale now for $20 and are available at hardrockhotelatlanticcity.com.
