【Yoo Jung】

Conventions are Yoo Jungstrange, wondrous places. They attract people outfitted in wild costumes. They seem to make people believe they are great singers and dancers when they are not. Inevitably, convention-goers will walk by someone with a microphone babbling about something unintelligible.

The Republican National Convention began on Monday in Cleveland, Ohio. It will run through Thursday, and it is already clear it is going to be no different.

Though the main attractions are speeches to be given by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his kin, there will be plenty of sideshows, such as a man walking around with another man on a leash, asking people to kick the man-dog.
