This guy comes on PBS late at night, or appears on random political shows or radio programs from time to time. First of all, his name just makes people laugh. It makes one assume that they were trying to say "Travis", but misspelled it or something. His last name is also humorous. He sounds like a character in a child's bedtime story. He is somewhat intelligent, and it is nice to see a black man wearing a suit, respecting himself, instead of pandering to the ghetto side of pop culture. However, he seems to talk with a lisp, and his information and view on politics is like many people of all colors today-- very low and tragic. Apparently the public needs to fund his boring discussions on PBS, though, which I find annoying- subsidizing partisan people and random borefests with tax dollars. Bottom line-- He looks smart, but after listening to his silly interviews and his actual viewpoints or knowledge of world events, you quickly realize that he isn't very impressive or knowledgeable. He is knowledgeable of the world in the style of= "Everything is racial. Obama was Jesus, but he still didn't do enough for people. Insert popular PC messages here. Blah blah blah. Keep the faith." -- I find it funny that he encourages viewers to keep the faith, but clearly supports people who have little or no faith, and who drive agendas that ruin most young peoples' faiths. LOL. Just anther robot in a million, who somehow got a free platform on public television.
