LEAD STORY: The (UK) Guardian: Wingnuts’ Ultimate Fate…To Be Eaten By Liberals? It’s happened once before! Now, it all becomes clearer to El Somnambulo.

A Difference Between the Parties

To designate the seating sections for the various representative districts, counties and subdivisions at the Democratic convention, we had only a piece of paper with the name on it attached to the back of a seat.
