Jesse Ventura is peddling a new book on conspiracies and his signing tour came to Rochester. We took Sammy to see former governor Jesse (the Mind) Ventura. Jesse talked, and talked, and talked, and talked...and talked some more. Sammy lost interest after about an hour and a half, so Michele took him home. Paul stayed (being #140 in line) to have Jesse sign a copy of his masterpiece.
While waiting, Paul sat down at the Barnes & Noble cafe and was immediately befriended by a 9/11 "truther" and his son. The Truther had a hernia operation earlier in the week, but had driven down from the Twin Cities. Apparently when Jesse was at the Mall of America more than 5,000 people had shown up, most likely a conspiracy to deprive the Truther of a signed Jesse book.
The Truther then explained to Paul the complex physics of the 9/11 twin towers collapse...and how it had to be an inside job by Dick Cheny and a squad of 15 French ninjas. And about Florine in the water. And about poison in diet soda. And why fast food drive through speaker systems never work. And why 5,000 people showed up at the Mall of America to prevent him from...oh yeah, already mentioned that. The Truther had also brought a stack of DVDs to give to Jesse...saying he was going to offer to work for Jesse as a researcher for free.
The 9/11 Truther and his son...
...giving Jesse DVDs with conspiracy stuff on them...
(former) Gov. Jesse Ventura
He's like a modern day Davey Crockett...
