This is a video of Senator Robert Byrd, the oldest member of Congress, making a speech on CSPAN in regards to the Michael Vick dogfighting charges. The genre is definitely humor. The speech wasn't meant to be funny, for Byrd is completely aggravated about the entire incident. However, his long pauses in between phrases and sentences, as well as his "barbaric" rant, takes all seriousness out of the speech. No one took this speech serious, not even the media or I'm sure even in Congress. The speech's intention lies within Byrd, whom obviously is a dog lover, and it was meant for him to address his opinion on the Michael Vick case.
The audience is those who are aware of the Michael Vick case, followers of the media, and of course dog lovers. Unfortunately for Byrd, because no one took this seriously, his argument against dogfighting is not effective at all.

About ME!
HI!!
I'm a freshman at the University of Michigan studying Movement Science in the school of Kinesiology. I'm a capricorn, I'm from Detroit, and I have one sister named Camille. My favorite food is spaghetti so if you're my friend you'll have your mom make me some :). I'm also a very devout Christian man. My dream is to one day become a Sports Doctor, where I can surround myself in my addiction for basketball. I've played basketball since I was 8, and the only thing that kept me from playing was a bad knee injury I sustained while in high school. That injury forced my mind to expand, and I began writing poetry. When I was 17, my 1st book of poetry entitled "Divine Intervention" as published. On my 18th birthday this past January, I passed the 4000 mark in sales, and I need 1000 more to make it into your local BarnesandNoble and Borders book stores!!
I joined this class because I have a very extroverted and silly personality, making me a natural people person. I'd like to use a site like Youtube to further popularize my book with hopes of making my next book a bestseller!!
P.S. I live in East Quad unfortunately, and I haven't eaten there since my freshman orientation in August 2008!! LOL!!
These videos define my silly personality. I know we were asked to pick one, but you need both to know me.

About Me
Hello,
My name is Terrance Scott and I am a freshman at the University of Michigan. I'm a capricorn, and I JUST turned 18 (don't laugh). I came here as a Computer Science major, but due to the severe difficulty of U of M math I've changed my major to Movement Science in the school of Kinesiology, with hopes of becoming a sports doctor. I'm a published author of a book of poetry entitled "Divine Intervention". I write poetry daily and do spoken word at a lot events around the country (mostly midwest). I'm also a crazed basketball fan! I can name pretty the every starting 5 in the NBA, and I'm also gettin hyped about March Madness in the NCAA. Hopefully one day I'll be a sports doctor and can treat some of them :)
