We have a jam-packed newsletter this month and there might not be much room for my little corner! Therefore, I want to keep this short and sweet but touch on volunteerism and the National Search Dog Alliance. Just like most search and rescue organizations, teams and independent personnel within North America, NSDA is comprised entirely of volunteer staff. This includes the entire Board of Directors as well! All the Program Managers, administrators, and support staff that you or I interact with does this job on top of their outstanding obligations to their teams, community, and families. However, because life has a way of pulling us every which way without our prior approval…this can leave an organization like NSDA constantly searching for more involvement, assistance, and volunteerism from those that it wishes to serve. I am in awe of and forever grateful for the effort and dedication put in by many of the veteran volunteers that have built up this organization since its inception. However, this level effort and commitment is unnecessary for the average person that may be willing to help or contribute. There are a variety of reasons why we want the involvement of a varied and diverse representation of the people that we serve. First, we all know the saying that many hands make light work. Secondly, getting involved yourself helps to ensure that your voice is heard. There are a lot of commonalities in the world of K-9 SAR within northern America but there are also extreme differences between each region, let alone between teams. It is hard to consider a variety of situations without representation. Additionally, we the volunteers behind NSDA do not know everything and we are always looking for fresh ideas and skill sets. What people shouldn’t think is that volunteering for an organization like NSDA is a giant time sink. Yes, some positions require greater time investments than others but “something is better than nothing.” I think that this statement is extremely misleading and underestimates the power of “something”. I am sure many of us already know that “something” can be infinitely more powerful than “nothing” in a variety of circumstances.

Following the methodologies of Critical Discourse Analysis, the aim of the thesis was to uncover and, therefore, analyze, the type of discourses that candidates used in the shows and how they combined them. There was established a special focus on the rhetorical styles used by each candidate, as well as the emotional content of the discourses, unexpected situations and comedy performances, with the aim to find the elements which lead to virality. This study reveals the rhetorical strategies used by politicians through an analysis of the political and personal discourses they used in late-nigh comedy shows.
