As a professional wrestler, he was called “The Body.”  As a governor, he was called “The Mind.”  These days, you can call Jesse Ventura “The Lawsuit.”  Former professional wrestler and Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura is suing the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration over body scanners and pat-downs at the airport.  Also named in the lawsuit are John S. Pistole and Janet Napolitano, the respective heads of the TSA and DHS.

“He’s not seeking any money damages, he doesn’t want to get rich through this lawsuit,” said Ventura’s attorney, David Olsen, in the New York Daily News.  “In fact, he could be financially harmed, if anything.”

Ventura is claiming that the DHS and TSA tag-team of scanners and groping one’s junk is unconstitutional and wants to receive a special waiver to bypass himself from the screenings.  Ventura has a titanium hip replacement, and as such he always sets off the medical detector.  Despite having it on record that he’s got a metal hip (as well as being a former governor, former star wrestler, B-movie actor, and decorated US military veteran), Ventura still gets enhanced screenings.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
