Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • Hbo Premieres All New Series Girls and Veep
    HBO PREMIERES ALL NEW SERIES GIRLS AND VEEP  Miami, July 9, 2012 – HBO Latin America announced that Girls and Veep, two new original comedies, will premiere on July 23. The first episode of both productions will be available on www.hbomax.tv after they air onscreen. Girls is a comedy directed by Lena Dunham, the up-and-coming filmmaker and actor, who also stars in the series. Veep stars Emmy®-award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has starred in popular series like Seinfield and Curb your Enthusiasm.  Created and led onscreen by Lena Dunham, Girls takes a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of women in their early 20s living in New York City. The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, focuses on the girls’ adventures in post-collegiate floundering.  A fresh and intimate look at friendship, relationships and self-discovery, Girls is a contemporary coming-of-age show that packs humor, farce and poignancy into each episode. Through four distinct characters, who may seem unlikely friends to some, Girls shines through as a voice of the post-recession generation who can hardly afford lunch, let alone Manolos. In addition to Lena Dunham as the anxious, rumpled Hannah, the cast of Girls includes Jemima Kirke as the beautiful Jessa, allergic to all things bourgeois; Allison Williams as Marnie, Hannah’s uptight roommate with strict rules about their best-friendship; Zosia Mamet (Mad Men) as Shoshanna, an NYU student and Jessa’s self-help obsessed roommate and cousin; and Adam Driver (HBO’s You Don’t know Jack) As Hannah’s love interest, Adam.

If the answer is a list which has L elements and you get x correct, you get x=L points. If any are wrong you get 0 points. You can take the quiz one of three ways. 1) Take it WITHOUT using the web and see how many you can get right. Take 3 hours. 2) Take it and use the web and try to do it fast. Stop when you want, but your score will be determined as follows: If R is the number of points and T 180R is the number of minutes then your score is T + 1: If you get all 33 right in 60 minutes then you get a 100. You could get more than 100 if you do it faster. 3) The answer key has more information and is interesting. Do not bother to take the quiz and just read the answer key when I post it.

I also use Wikipedia. There is a table at the end of this document that has lots of information about presidents. THE QUIZ BEGINS! 1.

HRISHI: Well, we're done with season six and as a result, we're done with Vice President Bob Russell. That was his last episode last episode. JOSH: That's right. But before we start season seven, we've got a bonus episode and we could think of no better way to honor Bingo Bob, and one of our other favorite shows about politics, than with a special episode on Veep with special guests Gary Cole who played VP Russell, of course, as well as Kent Davison on Veep and Veep's show runner: Dave Mandel. HRISHI: Veep is an amazing show and you should all be watching it or you should be done watching it now that the series is wrapped. If you don't know Veep has been nominated for a total of 59 Emmys and it won 17 of them. It just ended this past May and like The West Wing, it's going to be missed. But we were thrilled to get the chance to talk to Gary Cole and Dave Mandel. GARY: This is Gary Cole and I play Kent Davison on Veep and on West Wing, known as Bingo Bob. What was his last name?

Naispresidenttiys on kuitenkin taas askeleen lähem- pänä, kun Kamala Harris liittyy Joe Bidenin hallintoon varapresidenttinä. Edellisten presidentinvaalien aikaan vuonna 2016 Yhdysvalloissa keskusteltiin taajaan naisjohtajuudesta, kun vaaleissa olivat vastakkain Hillary Clinton ja Donald Trump. Vaaliväittelyt ja mediakeskustelut keskittyivät paljolti naispresidentin konseptiin ja siihen, oliko Clintonilla sukupuolensa takia ylipäätään mahdollisuuksia voittaa. Vaikka Yhdysvallat ei saanut ensimmäistä naispresidenttiään vuonna 2016 – tai edes 2020 – naispresidenttiyden konsepti on ollut läsnä populaari- kulttuurissa jo vuosikymmeniä. Viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana naispresidenttejä on nähty esimerkiksi sarjoissa House of Cards, Isänmaan puolesta, Rouva

  • Leading Female Characters: Breaking Gender Roles Through Broad City and Veep Abstract I. Introduction
    82 — Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 11, No. 1 • Spring 2020 Leading Female Characters: Breaking Gender Roles Through Broad City and Veep Christina Mastrocola Cinema and Television Arts Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract Historically, television has been dominated by male leads, but feminism and the challenges faced by working women are becoming more prominent in recent programming.This study analyzed two comedy television shows with female lead characters, Broad City and Veep, to examine if their main characters break traditional gender roles. In addition, this research studied if Broad City portrayed more feminist values than Veep, using feminist theory, which examines obvious and subtle gender inequalities. Three episodes from each show were chosen, selected by a ranking website. The coder analyzed three subcategories: behavior, interpersonal relationships, and occupation. This study concluded that both Broad City and Veep depicted strong female lead characters who broke gender roles continuously through their behavior, relationships, and occupation. Broad City depicted more feminist values through their main characters’ friendship, empowerment of female sexuality, as well as their beliefs against traditional gender roles. This conclusion sheds light on the fact that women in television, especially female lead characters, do not have to be portrayed in a traditionally feminine way. I. Introduction Society has placed gender roles upon men and women, expecting everyone to conform. These roles derive from “traditional societal roles and power inequalities between men and women” (Prentice & Carranza, 2002, p.1). These stereotypes are often learned through observation, including portrayals in television, film, and other forms of media.
