Nothing about Lang Dunbar seems radical. A 70-year-old man in bifocals and a floppy hat, he possesses a genial smile and a Wal-Mart greeter's enthusiasm.

But you wouldn't know it from the reactions of passersby as he hands out fliers near the entrance of the Cleveland zoo.

An aging hippie with an earring and New Balance sneakers looks at the pamphlet and smiles conspiratorially. "This, I like."

A gray-haired woman in Jackie O sunglasses takes one look and says, "Oh my!"...



Kept Woman
It's time to take out Mike DeWine.

You believe in America, am I right?

I'm not talking about the Hollywood version, with its prancing silicone who age into taxidermy experiments. Not the New York version, where they got sticks so far up their ass they rival the lumber selection at Home Depot. And certainly not the Washington version, where high school class presidents migrate to play statesmen, then behave like human Pepsi machines: Insert $1 and select the legislation of your choice.

What I'm talking about is the real America. The stranger who helps push your car out of the snow. The neighbor who watches your kids when you're late getting home from work. Boys playing pick-up football, mechanics who don't steal, waitresses who call you "hon," old ladies at Mass who smile with the voltage of 1,000 angels.

That America. She's a good one, don't you think?
