Dave always has the best of the year end lists.
There’s always a little something to piss off everybody, but make ya laugh anyways!
What amazes me about Dave Barry is that everything he says is true -- he is not making this up -- and it's only the little twist at the end of each item that makes you realize just how silly, bizarre, or outright insane the actual true facts are.

In other economic news, the CEO of GM resigns under pressure from the White House, which notes that it inherited the automobile crisis from the Bush administration. GM is now essentially a subsidiary of the federal government, which promises to use its legendary business and marketing savvy to get the crippled auto giant back on its feet, starting with an exciting new lineup of cars such as the Chevrolet Consensus, a ``green'' car featuring a compressed-soybean chassis, the world's first engine powered entirely by dew, and a 14,500-page owner's manual, accompanied by nearly 6,000 pages of amendments.

(Dave knocks that one out of the park with bases loaded!)
(Note to self: NEVER drink Jack and Coke while reading Dave Barry and expect the inside of your nose to remain free of said drink!)
