Default Dave Barry's Year in Review

Obviously this is a biased article (most political comedy is) but it was hilarious. I literally was laughing in my office when I read it. Take it as a joke and enjoy how he ties it all together.

"In sports, roughly 40 percent of the U.S. bimbo population announces that it has at one time or another hiked the Appalachian Trail with Tiger Woods."

I love Dave Barry, I have been reading his stuff for years.

that's because no papers carry him anymore... he took a leave of absence from journalism in 2004 to spend time with his family.

big trouble is one of my favorite movies
