Can Americans Trust Their Elections Results?

Aug 52008Category: Politics
Speech Tags: John Fund, presential election 2008

I included this one not because he is a good speaker (I think public speaking experts would have one or two suggestions for him). But he covers an important topic.

John Fund, author and The Wall Street Journal columnist, shares some interesting facts about elections and dangers regarding election fraud, gerrymangering and computer manipulation.

Carrie Fisher:
AFI Life Achievement Award 2005 (George Lucas)

Aug 42008Category: Comedy,Media & Arts
Speech Tags: Carrie Fisher, George Lucas, roast

After being reminded of the following quote by Randy Pausch, I knew what kind of speech has to come next:

Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I’m dying and I’m having fun. And I’m going to keep having fun every day because there’s no other way to play it.

So I’ll start this week with a hilarious speaker most of you might only know for her acting: Carrie Fisher roasting George Lucas at the AFI Life Achievement Award 2005.
