a sad day for Evan



I recall how about a decade ago, I sat with my brother in law and 'friends' in L.A. in some trendy restaurant, and explained to them that Hillary wanted to be president herself, and would destroy all in her path to reach that goal. I have been grinning inside with schadenfrueden all year long. But now, my chickens have come home.....to roost.

I've met Jesse Ventura, even interviewed him in the Mirage casino hotel in Vegas just a few years back...He was my political hero, along with Ron Paul. Now, even my party is dissapointing me. This is my political karma biting me in the ass for laughing at Hillary (and her supporters)!

Jesse ( or should I rightly say, Jim Janos )does bring up some good points in his book. But he is easily swayed. He heaps praise on Che Guevera. He practically fellates Fidel Castro, who welcomed him to Cuba in 2004. He explains that he 'kicked himself' for buying the 'governments' explanation of 9-11 after watching 'Loose Change', on the behalf of his teenaged son. Excuse me? Listen to the clips above,and tell me you really don't think he wants to believe the Govt is evil, and complicit in 9-11....This is waaaaaay worse then anything Hillary could ever do.

Also, Bob Barr? Really? For the Libertarian Party? This is the guy who railed against DC legalizing medical marijuana years ago. He was critical of Slick Willie and loved the 'defense of marriage' act, even though he was getting divorced under salacious circumstances at the time, and is a divorcee. He complains about Govt corruption, yet he was investigated by the FEC and fined for not being above board in 1996. This is the guy to be the face of my party? Not anymore. If he gets the post, I'm out. And I am taking my weed with me!

I still have questions about JFK. I read Bugliosi's 1800 page tome 'reclaiming history' which was a defense of the Warren Commission. I also saw JFK, Stone's movie.

To believe Bugliosi, the 'lone gunman' makes sense. To believe Stone, there was a bigger 'conspiracy'involved in JFK's assasination. I come down somewhere in the middle. It's clear to me, that the Warren Commission is not completely accurate~ and that does not mean Lyndon and the CIA under Bush Sr helped put a guy on the grassy knoll. It's also clear to me that Bugliosi is not objective, nor is Stone.

Jesse Ventura got his mental ass kicked by a couple douchebag radio shock jocks, and I cannot defend him anymore. I may have 'questions' about 9-11, but I'm willing to go along with Popular Mechanics about how the Towers Fell, no matter who 'funds' them...And it always seems that's where these arguments go. And those that want to believe that the Govt is implicit in 9-11 generally fall to the left of the political spectrum. Amd to see my hero, a guy I looked up to, fall to the dark side so easily is a bitter pill to swallow, indeed.


Here's Jesse getting PWNED by O and A:
