Costal Out Again Tuesday

I will be out again Tuesday....again, first priority will be to read The Chocolate War. Due to my absences, the due date for the novel will be moved up to after break.

In our ever expanding survey of satire and irony, watch one of the freshest, most interesting examples I have seen in quite some time. This comes from the Ted Conference, the same gathering that brought us "Green the Ghetto." Listen to Stew's (a great NYC performing artist who is definitely work checking out if you liked this) "Black Men Ski" one time straight through, then pick apart particular "arguments" made throughout the song, analyze the irony and give your overall impression as Journal #47.

The next video is a double whammy because it is satire from the godfathers of the genre: Monty Python! It is also fitting as we delve into the nuances of argument creation when I get back. What is the saite of the sketch? Explain it the best way you can. Then, critique it and provide another example of similar satire you have observed lately if you fall short on insight. This should be labeled Journal #48.
