Here's a kid whom other kids no doubt dream about strangling:
Jason Rae, 17, of Rice Lake, Wis., has been elected one of four representatives to the Democratic National Committee convention in Boston next month.
OK, you figure maybe he was just doing that as a prank, or punk, or joke, whatever those things are called these days.
But get this: The kid is first in his class, Student Council president, editor of the yearbook and active in his church.
Wait. The torture's not over.
He serves on the re-election steering committee of Sen. Russ Feingold, has worked on the gubernatorial campaign of Tom Barrett and is a vice chairman of the Barron County Democratic Party.
Sure, he's probably worked hard, given up TV, blah blah blah.
He may even be God in disguise.
But, tell the truth, you still want to plant a pie in his face.
Don't you?
