  • Putin, Exposed, May Become More Dangerous
    Opinions Putin, exposed, may become more dangerous By David Ignatius Opinion writer October 31 at 8:06 PM Has there ever been a covert action that backfired as disastrously as Russia’s attempt to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign? Granted, we know all the reasons Moscow is gloating: Donald Trump is president; America is divided and confused; Russia’s propagandization of “fake news” is now repeated by people around the world as evidence that nothing is believable and all information is (as in Russia) manipulated and mendacious. But against this cynical strategy there now stands a process embodied by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, which we will call, as a shorthand: “The Truth.” Mueller has mobilized the investigative powers of the U.S. government to document how Russia and its friends sought to manipulate American politics. We are seeing the rule of law, applied. Put aside for the moment what the indictments and plea agreement announced Monday will ultimately mean for Trump’s presidency. Already, Mueller has stripped the cover from Russia’s machinations: Trump’s former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos has confessed that he lied to FBI agents about his contacts with individuals connected to Moscow who promised “dirt” on Hillary Clinton; Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been charged with laundering $18 million in payoffs from Russia’s Ukrainian friends. Russian meddling is now advertised to the world. This topic will dominate American debate for the next year, at least. In Europe, meanwhile, a similar reaction to Russian influence operations is gaining force.

  • Rhetorical Logic Bombs and Fragmented Online Publics of Vaccine Science
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 7, No.4, 2017, pp. 203-216. Rhetorical Logic Bombs and Fragmented Online Publics of Vaccine Science Miles C. Coleman Vaccine denialists are commonly conceived as those who trade “internet articles” within their own “worlds.” Such fragmentation of publics is often regarded as a problem exacerbated by the technical features of the web (e.g., the algorithms of search engines and news aggregators) allowing people to avoid texts inharmonious to their already established worldviews. I make the point that such fragmentation is not simply a technical problem, solved by adding “diversity of texts,” exposing members of fragmented publics to new content, but also a rhetorical one, requiring adaptive engagement with the forms, and lines of argument, practiced between others’, and one’s own, publics. Rhe- torical logic bombing is offered as the strategy of placing media within the common network of texts that constitutes a given fragmented public in order to “sneak in” a critique of the belief-structures of that public. Keywords: digital rhetoric, rhetoric of science and technology, vaccination, rhetorical logic bombs, networked publics What a thing was this, too, which that mighty man wrought and endured in the carven horse, wherein all we chiefs of the Argives were sitting, bearing to the Trojans death and fate! Then thou camest thither, and it must be that thou wast bidden by some god, who wished to grant glory to the Trojans, and godlike Deiphobus followed thee on thy way.1 In the legend of the “Trojan Horse,” Greek soldiers hid inside a large horse, carved of wood, as the rest of their comrades feigned retreat and sailed away from Troy.

The Astros named Bo Porter to become their 17th manager at a news conference at Minute Maid Park. The 40-year-old Porter, a resident of Houston, was the 3rd base coach for the Nationals in 2012.

The family has lived in the area for many years, and Jim Crane, Houston’s President, said he got several recommendations from Houston-area baseball people. “I'm completely honored,” Porter said in a conference call. “It starts at the top with Jim Crane.
