If you've never heard of this guy, watch some of his clips on YouTube. He's an amazing modern philosopher who will provide you with a whole new spin on the way you view things.

He's a spectacular orator. Often he comes across as though he is speaking in political catch phrases but unlike many politicians he understands the philosophical baggage that they carry (i.e. he uses them which much of the philosophical force they are meant to have). He is great fun to listen to - and no doubt he pisses off the conservatives on the board :)

Yeah, I really enjoyed the speeches of his that I watched today, especially the ones regarding Obama. I didn't know that he himself was a politician though.

And yeah, he's great entertainment. I think that's what's made him the amazing orator that he is today.

I liked how he had a tantrum and played the race card when Larry Summers told him to do his job.
