I'm assuming most of you followed the Georgia Russian war over the past week and believe that Russia was the aggressor. Some of you might have wondered about the loaded language of the first reports as I did. Turns out that Georgia attacked first and killed a reported 2000 civilians in South Ossetia on the first night. So why is the television telling us that Georgia is the victim?

We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course'. Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'You might think [...]

I just added a new audio interview into the iPod MP3 player on the side of my website;... I think you need to be on my homepage to see the MP3 player.... once you are there just click on the "Jesse-Ventura" track to listen. Topics discussed in the interview: illegal immigration problems, the "news" business, JFK and RFK CIA conspiracies, building seven, our two-party dictatorship, over 20 years of the Clinton and Bush crime families...., Of course this guy doesn't know anything; he doesn't have any credibility; he's just a muscleman wrestler guy.
