Dok, Thank you for the link to the Roger Angells essay. It was very poignant. Also Wall of Voodoo shout out. As for Jesse Ventura: Another voice that makes no sense and no difference.

Sounds like his head was banged on the floor of the wrestling ring too many times.

Thank you. I now have a better understanding how Michele Bachmann got elected by the Minnesotianites.

Sure, Roger Angell's a good writer. But was he ever governor of Minnesota? Or a Navy SEAL*? ___________________ *actually an underwater demo guy. At the time everybody, possibly including JV, was saying he'd been a SEAL in Vietnam, both untrue.

Maybe Jesse's in BC to start a home for former governors of upper Midwestern states. Scott Walker, your room is ready

During his tenure as governor, Jesse got at least one thing very right - he pushed the development of light rail in the Twin Cities.

<i>"...a national sales tax..."</i>

He can call it his "999" plan.

Gov. Walker vs. Former Gov. Ventura. Debate or WWF for the Upper Midwest belt would be entertaining.

I like Jesse, he's quite entertaining- blunt, outspoken, no B.S. I especially like that he made Sean Hannity his bitch over waterboarding. That being said, Jesse should be allowed nowhere near the levers of power ever again. In fact, it would probably be wise not to allow him around sharp objects of any sort...
