You ain't got time to bleed, which is why you like Jesse Ventura, the former governor of Minnesota (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura). Many of his critics probably don't know that he served as a Navy Seal before pursuing wrestling and acting. His fiscal conservatism and social liberalism were good baseline positions, and he's one of the very few politicians who had the integrity to admit his atheism (in a Playboy interview).
Check out Do I Stand Alone?: http://www.amazon.com/Do-Stand-Alone-Against-Political/dp/0743405870/ref=sr_1_7/104-7689561-4961512?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183658182&sr=8-7. He doesn't get everything right - and his critique of the media, while making some valid points, veers into whining - but this plain-speaking book banishes the idea that he was a leader with no substance.
And then, when you finish the book, watch Predator - just cuz it's freakin' cool.
