"It was a year that strode boldly into the stall of human events and took a wide stance astride the porcelain bowl of history.

It was year in which roughly 17,000 leading presidential contenders, plus of course Dennis Kucinich, held roughly 63,000 debates, during which they spewed out roughly 153 trillion words; and yet the only truly memorable phrase emitted in any political context was  `Don't tase me, Bro!' "

With the end of the year upon us and none too soon, here is a link to Dave Barry's Year In Review. For fans of Dave's you will enjoy this unabridged version. The T-U, when it does print Dave's work, mercilessly scissors it into an unrecognizable daisy chain so enjoy the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
