hey, that's like listening to o'reilly on the radio. it is not like listening to rush or ollie north who *never* make any sense. o.r. will occasionally astonish you by saying something so straigforwardly and obviously true and right, that you almost swerve off the road into a ditch. but he normally follows up with something so assinine, that your faith in am radio is quickly restored. for example:
o.r. is very good on laws, rules, and social pressure to be brought to bear on "anti-gay" prejudice. they should not be discriminated against in employment, housing, and certainly not beat up on the streets. BUT, he also doesn't appreciate "going out in public and seeing two guys kissing". (esp if a minor child is around)
from the little i know of ventura, he strikes me very much the same way.
