Jesse Ventura

capn.sharky - 4-7-2011 at 03:05 PM

I was watching CNNI at my house in Loreto last week when Piers Morgan was interviewing Jesse Ventura. Ventura was in the States to promote his new book. He said he just returned from his new found paradise---which he called the Baja. Kinda interesting. He seemed to feel Baja was absolutely beautiful and the best of all places. Hope you saw it too. :yes:

He's always raving about how great it is in Baja when he's on the Howard Stern Show. He was on last Tuesday, they have a best of the week on Fridays, I'm asssuming they'll replay the interview and the weeks show's also repeat on the weekends.

I recently read his book "Do I stand alone". I found it to be interesting and a good read......dt

Once in a while Jesse Ventura makes great sense. But it's usually on the order of an old German saying, "Even a blind chicken occasionally finds a kernel of corn."

To give him his due, however, I admire his guts and his willingness to be utterly honest and pull no punches.

Jesse hangs out at the Crossroads Country Club on the East Cape, BCS. This has been talked about before on Nomad. It's fun to see him holding Court in a funky bar/restaurant overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Not a Country Club and thats a real attraction out there as life is un poco Rustico and muy Tranquilo out there! I would love to see some unknowing Surfer cut him off? :spingrin:

Put the guy in a Sleeper Hold, Jesse! Sale Tio

What time is the event, all day or just in the evening?

Bob H - 4-8-2011 at 10:50 AM

My opinion.... what this man has accomplished in his life time is just incredible!

The event starts at 1pm

There are 3 bands:
Los Pulpos
Pura vida
Revelations-Reggae.

I also think they are having some sort of art fair, but I am not 100% on that.

It should be a great event!

Come one... come all

The only reason Jessie Ventura has any credibility at all is because he's an idiot. :lol:

Jessie Ventura has credibility...he became a Governor didnt he?

I like him. Straight up talk. Perhaps his demeanor scares some folks. Wouldn't he better than the guy in the White House...ha(!)...or any other previous ding bats ?

After seeing his interview with Piers it looked like he has Parkinsons or some neuro problem? He was very shaky.

Jesse Ventura tells it like it is. I only politically agree with half of what he stands for, but I think he is the only politician that always tells the truth as he sees it. I would vote for a guy that always tells the truth even though I disagree with him over a guy who a tells the public only what they want to hear even if from my same political party.

bigboy - 4-8-2011 at 02:57 PM

I have a lot on the east cape directly across the street from Jesse. I check on the lot yearly and I always hope to see Jesse and possibly share a brew or two with him.

I'm in La Paz now and will swing by my lot next week and this time I hope that I run into him! Whatever you think of Jesse, you must remember that he was a Navy Seal, and according to one of his east cape neighbors, a hell of a man and self made at that!

Borregoman - 4-9-2011 at 10:55 AM

You heard that he would run on a Ron Paul ticket if Ron ran as an independant. Now that is a ticket that I vote for!

jesse is a freak act. they put him on TV talk shows because the audience is not very discerning and his freakyness apparently brings eye balls the advertisers desire. i am curious, were the advertisements for erectile disfunction drugs and adult diapers?

Although an oxymarooon statement, it is absolutely hilarious!

Doncha just love this ad? She's walking down the avenue thinking, "Look at me. I'm walking along peeing full blast in my pants and no one knows a thing about it....'cept me and my Depends."

Dennis - that's really funny. I rarely laugh out loud by myself - but you got me!

sharktooth - 4-9-2011 at 12:03 PM

to get a better read on what's going on in the world - I watch a little CNN, then check in with the 'crazies' - such as Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura.

I'd like to say that the truth lies somewhere in the middle - but lately, the crazies are gaining credibility.

Any Takers??

At the risk of being incorrectly labelled,
Here is a link to an JV interview from a Foreign media source.

Can see the occasional shaking in this interview too.

Jessie Venture interview

DENNIS - 4-9-2011 at 03:12 PM

Jesse would be a good VP, but who would want to give him the hammer?

The "Navy Seal" label may be overplayed. Perhaps "Frogman" is the more accurate term.

Yeah....that was the name before SEAL....UDT / Frogmen.
Correct me if I'm wrong. It won't be the first time.

DENNIS - 4-10-2011 at 08:59 AM

Here's a movie of the same name:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043565/

Bob H - 4-10-2011 at 09:05 AM

UDT means underwater demolition team

That's how I remember it!

Thanks Dennis.

That's pretty much as I've heard it before, but JV doesn't do much to clarify the issue.

Being an member of the United States Navy in the 70's, the Navy as other branches of the military requires real men to enlist. Goat...I got a funny feeling that you were a type that ran off to Canada in the 60-70's. Don't knock real men with your gibberish.

You've got him pegged fez, some pos keyboard poser badmouthing a veteran.......too many of those around these days.....dt
