No, never mind. That the other ball in the video is fake. |

At one point in time--perhaps this is still true?--golf balls had rubber band innards wrapped around a very small plastic do-dad. I know at some point some balls were all plastic do-dad beneath the waffled outer shell.
Maybe this is one of the all plastic, while the other video is a rubber band based ball? |

Sam Harris has offered the terms "spiritual" and "transformative" for such experiences. These seem pretty good.
Really, how someone signifies their experience is of little issue to me. I do care, however, with how they believe their particular signification entitles them to act.
Skepticism makes clear that we can't nail down exactly what is going on in the universe. The best we can do is get what it's like a lot of the time, but even so, this is not how it is essentially. So when some analytic zealot starts jawing off about "truth" and how they have some monopoly on this because they've managed to abstract something into a truth functional representation I end up wanting my soul saved from its misery. |

Judgement Day Scheduled for May 21st 2011

There's a guy in town who hands out fliers about this almost everyday with a chalk sign that counts down the days. I've been meaning to ask him if it's May 21st as it begins in Australia, Europe, or the US. Or if the rapture will happen as fast as the earth rotates. I'll let you guys know what I find out. |

Daily Show: Teachers and Wall Street

Phasebob, you're confusing the issue with presumptions about the role of satirists, or "comedians" as you call them, and the point of a rhetorical analysis.
Rhetorical analyses (of this type) aim to examine the means of persuasion and identify which means are successful and which are not.
The analysis is not about Stewart, it's about what are the effective ways one can persuade a group of people toward a particular situation. The petite analysis I provided uses Stewart's monologue as the framework for bringing out this tension between conservative and union values.
Whether Stewart as a satirist (or comedian as you called him) should do something or not is another question entirely. The issue is if one wishes to be successful in persuading the conservatives of the value of unions, then one would more effective rhetorically addressing the conservatives by values (ideological framework) that I suggested. |

I like this, however, I think it's worth saying that from a rhetorical standpoint that the act of identifying/exposing hypocrisy doesn't have an effect on those who hold the beliefs being exposed. The exposure of hypocrisy here is only serving to reinforce the views of the audience in which Stewart is a member. Or more simply, calling the conservatives hypocrites, showing how their position is hypocritical, does not induce change in the conservatives and only serves as self justifying propaganda for Stewart and his audience.
To persuade the conservatives to both consider and implement the values that Stewart and his audience advocate, Stewart needs to show how neglecting position actually weakens the conservative argument. For example, for Stewart's position to have efficacy, he would need to show that a weak teachers union (which means lower pay and benefits) harms the economy, harms the concept of individual liberty, is bad for business, etc.. |
