Saying I don’t follow the political arena isn’t exactly accurate. I do know who “won” the Presidential election in ’00, but that’s as far as my Democrat or Republican roots are sewn. That didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying and getting a great deal of knowledge from the Rhetorica Press.
For starters, the design was something I really liked. While the layout used is a simple one, I liked it. The unnecessary graphics or obtrusive colors that often hinder the appearance of a site were nowhere to be found. Instead, you find the color combination of white, black, and a teal green – calm, but yet bold colors.
The typical entry consists of a link to any number of various outside news sources. Then, Dr. Cline follows that up with either a direct quote from the linked article and more often than not, we’re treated to short synopsis of his opinion regarding the issue at hand.
Andrew Cline, the webmaster and author of this weblog, has a PhD in English. This fact alone should tell you that the writing style is impeccable. Even the political numskull, like me, is able to follow along, easily grasping the thought that Dr. Cline is trying to convey.
This weblog certainly isn’t for everybody. You won’t connect on much of a personal level with Dr. Cline, but that doesn’t seem to be the approach taken with the Rhetorica Press journal. You will, however, come away from reading the site with more knowledge in politics than you had before you visited.Rhetorica:
