The middle column of the front page of the Wall Street Journal is worth a read today: It’s about the various impersonators of Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, and so on who make a living in Boston and how they have fared during the convention. Apparently there was an attempt to hire revere to ride through town saying, “The assault weapons are coming! The assault weapons are coming!” Revere, a gun-rights supporter, declined. Franklin, on the other hand, decided to join a Boston Tea Party with “expensive pharmaceuticals” tossed overboard, but with misgivings, since the actual Franklin had opposed the original Tea Party.
