He's human, and screws up a lot of things (not as many things as I do, but... ) but he's always out there fighting for what he thinks is right, and he so often does it with humor and street smarts that is so lacking in most of the discussions these days. He's at his best when he pulls no punches.

and he's not messing around.

I liked what he said aobut people telling him that he's just stirring up trouble and sticking his nose in. He said Trayvon's parents invited him and until they dis-invite him, ya'll can go fuck yourselves because I am a grown man and I won't be told to shut up like I was a Boy.
