I love Kwame so much. It makes me so :doomjak: to see the left has seemingly lost all its charismatic rhetoriticians. We have no Tures, no Parentis, no Malcolms, no Hamptons left.

I never thought about it before but Full Metal Jacket is kind of retrograde the way it portrays the guy who blasted his CO as a sobbing incompetent moron.
