Dave Barry on the DNC

I'm vaguely aware of some kind of political event happening in Boston. It's apparently pretty boring, but Reason Magazine's Convention Blog is covering it in an amusing fashion. But Dave Barry's coverage beats them hands down:

The convention continues tonight, with the theme being: ''Making America Stronger through the Strength of Strongness.'' The idea here is to convince doubtful voters that the Democrats can be trusted to be tough on terrorism and won't create some kind of feel-good liberal bleeding-heart program like enrolling terrorists in bowling leagues.

Emphasis on this theme will continue through Thursday night, when, to climax the convention, an actual live terrorist will be released onstage, and John Kerry will beat him senseless with a hockey stick, after which John Edwards will sue him.

Read the rest on the Miami Herald's site. You'll have to register, but it's worth it.

UPDATE: Best of the Web has also been working hard making this event seem interesting. Today James Taranto fills us in on what the hard-working crackpots drawn to the lights are up to.
