Many write Sheehan off as looney because of the UFO stuff but it's been my experience wherever he's fishing there's usually bucket loads of fish.

It truly is a big 'ol foggy chain of a Barrel of Monkeys dating all the way back to the original Amerikan Fascist Movement of the 30's.

Heres the audio from his Iran/Contra speaking tour for anyone interested.
