Dave Barry used to be funny - like around 1986.

If you took out politics, Barry’s column would fit into a tweet. I use his own words to describe this “gushing sewer of political attack.”

In 1986 Dave Barry said the reason Ronald Reagan bombed Tripoli was that Muammar Gaddafi had erected a 365 ft tall middle finger facing north on the Gulf of Sidra.

He should stick to Florida drivers, Beano, and colonoscopies.

I haven't heard of him in years, but I'm glad to see he's still active and as funny as ever. He pokes fun equally at everyone, yes even Trump. This is the first humor in any medium poking fun at Trump that I have ever enjoyed. It's because his humor is neither partisan nor mean-spirited, a characteristic of every other piece of crap we get from comedians.

Besides PDJT, he pokes fun at Pelosi, Schumer, Democrats, Congress in general, and his favorite target of all --- the MSM and their deranged, obsessive behavior towards Trump.

You should read it. It's an incredibly difficult feat, given the poisoned social climate today, to create a funny piece that's so well balanced that you can't tell which side of the political spectrum he's on.

BTW, here's my all time favorite of his, published in 1986 --- "Martian Death Flu" column
