...Tuesday night at the Democratic convention was a case in point. Look at the roster that straitened circumstances forced the Gore campaign to put on. Union bosses. Jesse Jackson. Bill Bradley. Big ol' red-meat, rabble-rousin', poverty-fightin', national-election-losin' Democrats - the same kind of people Bill Clinton screwed over at the last convention because he could afford to. For Al Gore, this was I-haven't-nailed-down-my-base night. It was for-the-love-of-God-please-don't-vote-for-Ralph Nader night...

Apparently unconcerned about p.r. or the tender feelings of nonhunters, varminters have a taste for sick humor and grisly imagery. The 54,000-member V.H.A. sells T shirts that feature cartoons of exploding rodents. Its headquarters in Pierre is lined with snapshots of happy hunters and their diminutive kills. There are images of coyotes, badgers, gophers, and one large close-up of a prairie-dog carcass tumbling through...
