Former Gov. Jesse Ventura may prefer Mexico to Minnesota these days, but his ex-constituents will still recognize his style if they pick up his upcoming book, "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!"

Ventura uses the book _ part personal memoir, part political rant _ to rail against organized religion and the media, detail his brushes with celebrities and suggest that he should be viewed as a possible presidential candidate.

"Is it worth it to put my family and me out there, to take on a force that most of the American people are willing to go along with?" Ventura writes in the book, due in stores in April. "The government is supposed to be us, and it's not us anymore. It's been hijacked. Just when is somebody going to do something?"

Maybe all the current administration needs is to be banged on the head a bit more - as Ventura obviously has seen the light after all the side swipes he has taken. The truth serum elexir, mayhap?

I want everybody to run Jesse Ventura, Mike Bloomberg as independents, Cynthia McKinney as a Green, Ron Paul for the Libertarians, Barack Obama/Hillary for the Democrats and whoever (Huckabee?) for the Republicans. The more candidates the better I say. We need more voices in politics, our two-party system is part of the problem not part of the solution.

Bravo, Jesse. It is so rare to see a brave and honest politician/writer. Well, he is not getting a favorable treatment from the media and the chickenhawks will not be paying his bills. It is too bad that around a half of the voters are not smart enough or are ignorant suicidal lunatics.

Jessie may not be the best politician, but that is one of his better traits. He is however a person who is for the American Citizen and America over and above the pond scum capitalistic who currently run our country. Id personally like to see him walk into congress and kick each and everyones ass in that place. Toss them out the doors, and force us to elect all new, non political , no lawyer, non corporate capitalist. Just ordinary folks who live and work here in the US. Take the Cons out of Congress, and put the people back in it where they belong.
And Jessie doesnt have to be running for president when he does it either. Just kick ass and only take names to make sure they are all leaving congress now. Then, we could elect him for President so he can make sure it wont just be a repeat of the same old US capitalistic pimps pushing Congressional greedy whores down the throats of America again.

I know its a fantasy. Religious people fantasize the defeat of Satan. Poor people fantasize being wealthy, or just able to pay the bills each month. Working Class fantasizes about having a fair shake. So let me fantasize about the US not under US style Capitalistic rule and whores in congress and the white house, so all the above mentioned can have their fantasizes come true.

Jesse is a Patriot, while bush and the Repuke junta are traitors. I would love to have Jesse on the side of the RESISTANCE!
Will he be brave enough? we know that the FASCISTS calling themselves Americans that hold power in this land will do anything, ANYTHING, to maintain their stranglehold on power. They are KILLERS. They will kill, as they have killed to continue in their illicet regime.

bush is a mass murderer now living in OUR White House.

bush is a MASS MURDERER now living in OUR WHITE HOUSE.

I
DEMAND
JUSTICE!!!!

bush and his cohorts belong in prison, and most of the world agrees.

Until these criminals beg for mercy, the US will be a pariah, outlaw nation!

Why is this book labeled as "crazy"? Because he is willing to admit that 9/11 was an inside job? A third of the public holds this belief. It's not crazy; it's common.

Thanks Mr. Ventura for popping your head up again to remind Americans what it means to be American.

I would vote for you any day of the week.

You are a real American hero and the country is much better off with people like you in it.

You are the only politician I have ever seen in my whole lifetime that admitted / owned up to your mistakes and worked hard to correct them.

If only our other political candidates were as brave as you.

He never struck me as particularly bright.

That reminds me... who killed Kennedy? I simply will not trust this government until they come clean on that. Elements of the government clearly made it happen and then covered it up. As long the Washington gang continues to cover for the criminals they cannot be considered anything but enemies of the people.

I thought that "Navy Seal" myth had been finally killed off.....

God save us from "celebrities" without any real qualifications who run for political office......

We don't need any more cowboy 'kick butt' non-thinking, unqualified politicians.

Minnesota had a major case of buyer's remorse with Jesse

Suuuure, the killer has got to be the Latin guy! :P

There was a lot of talk of a presidential run after he surprised everybody in getting the governorship of Minnesota but then he disappeared. Last time I saw him was when he endorsed Kerry for president and he looked out of his mind (he was sporting dreadlocks!).

I do admire Jessie's upfront honesty about controversial subjects. I can't say I always agree with him, but if someone "gets" most of it, and is willing to do something about it, then it's better than what we got now.

I'm sure Andrew Jackson, hero to some, jackass to others, was outspoken but not always right about everything. He sure was right about corporations. They've gone through cycles of power/robbery every since the 1800's. They're just playing harder and creeping deeper every time.

We've got to get beyond wedge issues, and vote for candidates who understand the big picture. Of course, I'll have to plug for Ron Paul, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich as the ones who at least will do something about it.

Jesse is well suited to the role of court jester. You know, the one who can speak the truth with impunity by weaving it into a fabric of nonsense. Jesse is no more a revolutionary than was King George's jester (that's King George III and not King George II).

The only 911 conspiracy theory is the one espoused by our government and apparently the writer of this review.

Only dolts would not believe their own eyes. The two Towers came down at free fall speed. They were imploded.
A 757 will not fit through the 16 foot hole at the Pentagon.
You have to be in complete denial if you don't think 911 was an INSIDE JOB.
FYI---The Patriot Act was put on George Bush's desk for review by John Ashcroft, September 10.2000.
