I met him a few times in Bloomington, early 80s. He seemed like a voice for small-town America back then, but quickly sold out to became just another limousine liberal sneering at the commoners. He doesn’t mention (or sing about) his roots any more, and I doubt anyone in Seymour would pee on him if he was on fire.

But like I said, we have a lot of arrogant morons in Washington nowadays, and he might be an intellectual giant in those circles. Don’t forget, Obama was above average intelligence in the Senate.

Because we are living in a horror reality show (Truman Show anyone?): "'American Idol' elects a President".

This unfortunate show began in November, 2008 and is still running (but I like the dropping 'Nielson' ratings).

If the voters of Indiana are insane and elect Melonhead to the Senate, he would not be the only washed-up has-been singer in Congress.

John Hall, leader of 1970s-era wimp-rock band "Orleans" is an ultra-liberal Rat who represents a moderate upstate New York district (Poughkeepsie area, I think).

Hall's anti-American Nazional Socialist credentials are in fine working order, and Hall was assisted by another celebrity idiot in his initial campaign (and perhaps since then too): ex-New York Ranger goaltender Mike Richter. Richter is a big-time enviroNazi who has been rumored as a Congressional candidate himself, possibly from the hoity-toity upscale SW Connecticut district.

Yeah, right. A guy who considers Obama and Biden to be insufficiently leftist is just what Indiana voters are looking for right now... /sarc.

These videos which constitute an 8-part lecture with slides presented by former FBI Head in LA, Ted Gunderson (1979, retired; since retirement has been doing investigation into Satanic incidences). Mr Gunderson contends that there is rampant Satanism that has being practiced among the rank and file of the CIA, this has been so for the past 2-3 decades, and it is intensifying.

The Satanism involves a lot of sexual abuse of children as part of Satanic cult rituals. These children are very young, aged 2-4 years old (3 year-old male is most desired victim). The cult members are associated with those who run daycare centers. The children are taken out by tunnels underneath the daycare centers and taken to facilities that either remain underground or are in buildings that are near the first building, but are a distance away. The rituals go on during the day while the parents are working at their jobs and the toddlers are in the care of the daycare staff.
Mr Gunderson estimates that 100,000 children per year in the U.S. are involved in such rituals.

Also, there are adult, child, and infant sacrifices occurring. Between 50,000 and 60,000 adults disappear in the U.S. each year. Mr. Gunderson has investigated many such instances. He says that the Jon Bene’ Ramsey case (the little girl in Colorado who was in Beauty pageants who was killed in her own basement on Christmas about 10 years ago had the earmarks of a pedophilic satanic killing.

The book i mention in the opening paragraph is instrumental in understanding the Satanic cult (”Magick in Theory and Practice”). It is important to read because it spells out in 12 sections each of the theories and goals of this satanic cult movement. This cult has been a political force in America since 1772 (at least), even before the Revolutionary War.

“If Mellencamp was able to run, I think he would win it— hands down.”

“He’s left but I don’t see him as the type to be bought off or be corrupt.”

“I think he would be more old-school Dem. jmo”


He’s a blithering idiot. He talks about foreign policy, but yet admits he knows nothing about Pearl Harbor.

“Mellencamp has recently said that Obama and Clinton are not liberal enough.”

“THAT is FREAKING FRIGHTENING!!!”


EXACTLY this guy is a complete moron. He hangs around IU, donates money, and get’s an honorary brainwashing-degree.

At least Bayh could be somewhat pushed around by the citizens when it came to the health care bill (yeah I know he was going to vote for it), but this guy will help push a radical agenda no matter what.

The people of Indiana rejected Socialism and Bayh knew he was toast. The people of Indiana BETTER PAY ATTENTION to what Mellencamp believes in.

“I heard him interviewed a couple of years ago and came away thinking he was Sean Penn’s long lost twin brother...”


That’s funny you say that, because I met someone that went to JM’s house and they said Sean Penn was there.

No joke.

From Indiana University, in an article about the origin of the nickname "Hoosiers":

Politicians in particular like the theory of hard-working Indianans. Governor Evan Bayh used it on a quiz show ("Bayh Shows he's a Hoosier Quiz 'Kid'") where he explains the term "hoosier" as deriving from the canal builder, Samuel Hoosier, who "favored workers in Indiana and they became known as Hoosiers." With politics and state pride in his heart, Bayh continued, "We'd like to think it's synonymous with good workers."

In sum, "Hoosier" is a nickname and "Indianan" would be the proper terminology.

One more thing.

If you live in Indiana and call someone your fellow “Indianan” you’re going to get laughed at.

From the same article:

“For well over a CENTURY AND A HALF the people of Indiana have been CALLED Hoosiers. It is one of the oldest of state nicknames and has had a WIDER ACCEPTANCE than most.”
