...seen. He dashes through his stump speech like a racehorse in full gallop - he even looks a bit equine - his feet barely touching the ground as he skims the surface of issues. He conveys a sense of power and fluency - and fun. He has a self-deprecating sense of humor and uses it to good effect. But his speed of delivery also has an element of sleight of hand.

Nevertheless it was a lot of fun trying to force ourselves upon you, no matter how times you socked us in the nuts and dove for a blue phone panic button like it was the peak of the Aggro Crag. Though six out of seven days we fall asleep in the basement storage room of some anonymous Yard dormitory feeling like the boy who just placed third to two girls on Global Guts, it’s that seventh...
