...ring pointing at their butts and yelling butt-related words for the audience to yell back at them. It wasn't a proud moment for Minnesotans, especially if you made the mistake of watching. Then, in September, Ventura touted Donald Trump as a presidential candidate. Let's be clear about this: anyone who imagines Donald Trump in the White House has the brains of a stale bagel. Donald Trump makes Ross Perot look like a giant. Jesse Ventura was the first man, aside from the men in Mr. Trump's employ, ever to make this imaginative leap...
...succession, designed by Kremlin imagemakers to prove to the Russian electorate that Prime Minister Putin, a former KGB lieutenant colonel hastily slapped into office by Yeltsin two months ago, is a real man, capable of leading Russia as President when Yeltsin steps down next year.

Thomas Van Bebber?s mind as he refused to abate ?- despite an appellate court?s clear wishes that he do so ?- the 12-year sentence he had given Fortier a year ago. Ordered by the appeals court to use new, lowered sentencing guidelines (involuntary manslaughter instead of first-degree murder), Bebber stuck by his guns.
