[Jean Riva]

Did anyone know that humorist Dave Barry is running for president? He says, "If elected, his highest priority will be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible for making Americans install low-flow toilets." You can even buy a Dave Barry for President thong

Any fans of Dave's here? If so, what makes his humor work for you?

I like his humour because it is irreverent without being crass. Okay, sometimes it is crass. Crass is relative.

Jealousy prohibits me from voting for Dave.

I'm avoiding politics. well I'm trying to anyway. I figure I have enough time left that I can slack off and then scramble to read everything about all the contenders in one night before I vote. I have no idea where Dave Barry stands but I like that he's selling thongs. ;)

I wish I could find the link but his article about that woman who tried to install her own flooring (while in her underwear so she'd stay clean) and then slipped into the super-stick glue is one of his classic ones. I laugh EVERY time I read it. Never fails. The way he described that Yorkie dog of hers, something about a powder puff substitute, really had me losing it and laughing out loud - in a very public place - and not a good one to crack up laughing. OMG, it was so funny to me.

I guess it proves that humor really does connect to pathos because she had to use her nose to try and dial the phone and her kids and dog were too busy laughing at her ( or licking her) to help. And yes, I put the image of her kids licking her into that sentence on purpose. I'm not that dense a wrider.
