WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
I'm a Dave Barry fan. Have been for many years. In his seminal work Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys, he reprinted a column he had written earlier on the Lawn Ranger precision power lawn mower drill team. If you've never read Dave Barry, it pays to start now.
Why do I bring this up?
Because yesterday, Ben Smith had this, from Dave Barry: Today I received an email from Lawn Rangers co-founder Pat Monahan, with a photograph taken in 2003 when the Rangers marched in the Chicago St. Patrick's Day parade. Joining them on this occasion was an up-and-coming Illinois state senator, seen here participating in the rigorous rookie-training program.
