  • Pets Are Popular with U.S. Presidents
    Pets Are Popular With U.S. Presidents Most people have heard by now that President-elect Barack Obama promised his two daughters a puppy if he were elected president. Obama called choosing a dog a “major issue” for the new first family. It seems that pets have always been very popular with U.S. presidents. Only two of the 44 presidents -- Chester A. Arthur and Franklin Pierce -- left no record of having pets. Many presidents and their children had dogs and cats in the White House. President and Mrs. Bush have two dogs and a cat living with them -- the dogs are named Barney and Miss Beazley and the cat is India. But there have been many unusual presidential pets as well. President Calvin Coolidge may have had the most pets. NEWS WORD BOX He had a pygmy hippopotamus, six dogs, a bobcat, a goose, a donkey, a cat, two lion cubs, an antelope, and popular issue record wallaby a wallaby. President Herbert Hoover had several dogs pygmy hippopotamus and his son had two pet alligators, which sometimes took walks outside the White House. Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, had a pony named Macaroni. She would ride Macaroni around the White House grounds. Some pets also worked while at the White House. Pauline the cow was the last cow to live at the White House. She provided milk for President William Taft. To save money during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson brought in a flock of sheep to trim the White House lawn. The flock included a ram named Old Ike.

  • The Rhetorical Secret and the Epistemology of Non-Knowledge
    THE RHETORICAL SECRET AND THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF NON-KNOWLEDGE by GUSTAF ATILLA TORBJÖRN HALLSBY (Under the Direction of Barbara Biesecker) ABSTRACT This dissertation presents a rhetorical theory of the secret as an epistemology of non- knowledge, or a discursive construction of what is publicly not known. Drawing upon contexts of Rhetorical intra-disciplinary conflict, the public ‘outing’ of Valerie Plame, the Republican uptake of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, and the popular recollection of Alan Turing and Chelsea Manning, I suggest that the rhetorical secret describes how the unknown of discourse is organized as trope, which gives a recognizable form to moments of contingency, conflict, and uncertainty. Each case is unique in its account of the tropes that organize distinct ‘unknowns,’ namely, the disciplinary identity of Rhetoric, the covert actions of the George W. Bush Presidency, and the consequences of massive public disclosures (like that of WikiLeaks). The force of this argument is to resituate the relationship between Rhetoric and Truth as immanent to academic, public, and political discourses, and that speaking the truth about any of these contexts depends upon the prior existence of the rhetorical secret. INDEX WORDS: Rhetoric, Psychoanalysis, Secrets, Valerie Plame, Saul Alinsky, Alan Turing, Chelsea Manning.

  • President George Walker Bush
    Compiled by D. A. Sharpe In the same year that George Walker Bush was born, Sir Winston Churchill, then Prime Minister of England, delivered his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri on March 5, 1946. Sir Winston is the eleventh cousin, once removed to United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, my half eighth cousin. Source:http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/churchill-iron.html President George W. Bush is a tenth cousin, eight times removed to the first President of the United States, George Washington, who is my 26th cousin, seven times removed. So, President Bush is a distant cousin of a distant cousin of mine! It was the great honor and pleasure that my wife, Suzanne Margaret Boggess Sharpe, and I attended both of President Bush's Inaugural Ceremonies at being sworn in as President for a four-year term in Washington, D. C. Both occasions were on January 20, 2001 and 2005. We attended various Presidential Balls on those occasions which were social occasions at which the President and his First Lady, Laura Bush, were present for token appearances. 1 Back in 1993 when President William Clinton appointed Texas Senator Lloyd Bentson to be Secretary of the Treasury, that made vacant one of the two seats of the United States Senate for Texas. One of our favorite Texas politicians, Kay Bailey Hutchison, ran for that vacancy and won! My wife, Suzanne, was a member of Ms. Hutchison's campaign committee in Dallas County, Texas, which led to us attending the victory celebration on election night on that first Tuesday in March1993.
