I always enjoy reading Dave Barry's take on the previous year.

Me too. After reading this year’s column, I resolve to use the phrase “Hyper Partisan Gasbaggery” more often.

I first started reading Dave Barry in 1987 when his lookback at 1986 revealed that the real reason Reagan bombed Tripoli was not the Berlin disco bombing but because Gaddafi had erected a 365 foot tall upraised middle finger statue overlooking the Gulf of Sidra exclusion zone.

That and his “Keep Fit & Healthy Until You’re Dead” exercise book from 1985 and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Or was it when Dave wrote about the Leave It to Beaver show and wondered what it must have really been like for a boy to grow up being known all the while as “the beaver”?

“A Florida Driver’s License is in the Mail!” is another of his takes on outrageous headlines in the news.
