Dave Barry on 2004
Nobody gets down to the nitty gritty of Truth in Humor like Dave:

"Looking back on 2004, we have to conclude that it could have been worse.

''HOW??'' you ask, spitting out your coffee.

Well, OK, a giant asteroid could have smashed into the Earth and destroyed all human life except Paris Hilton and William Hung. Or Florida could have been hit by 20 hurricanes, instead of just 17."

Nice big long funny article starts here. (Requires registration, I think. Try that bugmenot.com site for a code if you are anti that sort of thing.)

It's a good column. I laughed out loud, and for me that's the test of a humorous writer: the more out-loud laughing I do, the higher the writer is in my estimation.

I tried the bugmenot.com site, but couldn't get any of their sign-in codes to work, possibly because I didn't do it right. Oh, well, so I registered at the Herald site. But I think I'll instinctively KNOW where any spammers got my e-mail address when they address me as "Dear Goomer Bergerly..."

Ooooh, you are WAY too clever for them!!

But since it's Dave Barry, shouldn't that be "Booger"?
