   Dave’s one of us, I suspect. He was hanging with Lileks at the Minnesota State Fair last summer.

   Dave Barry’s laways had an interesting take on things. I’ve enjoyed his articles in the Washington Post for years…

   Dave Barry is making most of this up. But not all.

   Hunh? That’s pretty much how I remember it. Except the pizza guy didn’t get $14 billion. He got $7 billion, plus a note saying he gets the rest once Congress gets done rifling the sofa cushions.

   Regards,
   Ric

   “On the Democratic side, the surprise winner is Barack Obama, who is running for president on a long and impressive record of running for president.”

   It’s funny because it’s trye.

   This was such a strange year, that Dave Barry’s roundup actually seemed more possible than what actually happened.

    I used to have a bridge companion who is a close friend of Barry’s from since their teenage. Judging by what she had to say of him, I’d definitely count him as a PW sort, dicentra.
