I've been to dozens of political conventions, but never one with this in the announcement:
"If you carry and need to use the restroom, a gun wrangler will be designated."
It makes me think of shining up the 59 and actually attending this one, May 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn, just north of Des Moines.
Last time I hit a convention I decided I even needed to leave the little Buck pocket knife in the hotel room.
Gotta love libertarians, even big-L ones.

STEEEEE-RIKE ONE on Tim Pawlenty
You don't screw around with Hawkeyes. We like our sleep and we have guns.
Iowa proudly claims the honor of hosting the first presidential wannabe staff scandal of the year, thanks to Pawlenty aide Ben Foster who, the reports say, drank into the wee hours and forgot where he lived. He then wound up 10 miles from home where, at 3 a.m., he banged on the door of a house that must have looked about right. The homeowner held him at gunpoint. The cops were called. They charged Ben with a couple of misdemeanors either before or after he barfed on the deck.
Odd. Ben hails from Alabama, and I thought those good ol' boys taught their kids to hold their liquor.
(Tim is already on the running TMR list of Iowa caucus hopefuls. You may remember him from there as the small-government conservative, except for guys who own big-time sports teams and are therefore entitled to free stadiums.)

Wow, deep
I wonder how Lt. Walsh reacts to this after a lifetime of thinking his dip into the Challenger Deep was a big deal.
