"A festive mood prevailed as hundreds of protesters gathered at the Hennepin County Government Center plaza on a warm fall day in solidarity with the nationwide demonstrations against Wall Street.

Former Gov. Jesse Ventura dropped by as the event got going. He didn't give a speech but spoke to people in the crowd, posed for pictures and signed autographs.

People walked around with signs saying: "Protect the middle class," "Corporations are not people" and "Wake up - when you support capitalism you create the problem." Volunteers handed out banana bread muffins, apples and bananas to protesters and served some donated rice and beans.

Occupy Minnesota organizers said they plan to occupy the plaza outside the courthouse until they see major changes. They planned to hold workshops this afternoon and a rally at 5 p.m. The protesters have varied causes but mostly were highlighting unemployment, economic inequality and corporate greed."

2. I enjoy listening to Ventura on his interviews.

Haven't seen him lately - he used to be on Larry King once in a while.

Don't agree with everything he thinks, but I like his no nonsense style.
