Stokely Carmichael

Our fumbling government's response since Beirut - during both Republican and Democratic administrations - has been to cut and run, or to flat ignore this growing threat, apparently hoping it would go away.
David Hackworth

I love physical kinds of comedy and getting down and dirty and doing stunts.

So I'm naturally accustomed to putting myself into the headspace of a girl who can take care of herself.
