Hilarious - how long will these deadenders keep whining ?
I have f*cking had it with these damned sore ass losers. Every time a-holes attack Trump, they are directly attacking the 60M+ voters that voted for him. I am not sorry that I voted for the candidate who was better than Hillary.
Dave Barry used to be funny.
Sorry Dave, but I think Americans in the future, if there are any left, will look back on 2008 and 2012 and say “what the hell, they elected a communist community organizer as President?”
AW CRAP
David Barry is a lefty loony too???!?
Oh well. I used to like him, too.

AL Gore brought about the lawsuit in 2000. He tried to argue that the election should be decided by a county in Florida that it had previously been discovered had committed voter fraud. In favor of the Democrats, of course. The SC correctly saw the fraud. Liberals are liars. Always.
Yep, and flaming perverts, muzzie beheadings, rampant baby killing, black on black murder and drug hazed existences are, well, okey doke with Little Davey.
>>In the future, Americans — assuming there are any left — will look back at 2016 and remark: “What the HELL?”
I’ll look back at 2016 and note that ultra-lefty Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, recognized something in Trump that Dave Barry, a guy who pretends to be Middle America, still fails to see. It’s the year that the R vs D paradigm finally died a well-deserved death so America could begin to revitalize itself.
Dave did a decent job with this year. His trashing of Hillary is brutal and consistent. Don’t get upset over a few lines out of a massive column.
I have lived most of my life in Lefty Land. Almost all around me revere Dave Barry.
I sampled him a couple of times during the Clinton years. I was not especially amused or impressed. I quickly discarded him (along with Garry Trudeau) and did not look back.
I realize that we conservatives are limited in what we are offered, since most entertainers are narcissistic leftists (N.B. I know some say D.B. is a libertarian, but he is the modern LEFTIST variety of pseudo-libertarian).
If you all enjoy him, that is your prerogative. I think people like him are intellectually lazy ones who live by taking cheap shots.
If I want commentary on humanity, I prefer Chesterton or Lewis.
The ‘short version’ for those who enjoy Dave Barry but don’t have an hour to spend reading - - a month by month break down of the past year:
“North Korea successfully tests a hydrogen bomb, although this achievement is tarnished somewhat by the fact that the explosion causes the death, by startling, of the isolated nation’s lone remaining chicken.”
“Clinton faces an unexpectedly strong challenge from Bernie Sanders, a feisty 217-year-old senator from Vermont with a message of socialism, but the good kind of socialism where everybody gets a lot of free stuff, not the kind where starving people fight over who gets the lone remaining beet at the co-op.”
“Speaking of coincidences: Bill Clinton happens to find himself in the same airport as U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and — as any two people would do if one of them was the nation’s chief law enforcement officer and the other was married to the subject of a federal investigation — they meet privately aboard Lynch’s Justice Department jet. When word of the meeting leaks out, Lynch assures the press that she and Bill did not discuss the FBI investigation into Hillary’s email, adding, “nor did we inhale.”
“Trump receives enthusiastic prime-time endorsements from former celebrity Scott Baio, several dozen Trump children and current Trump wife Melania, who enthralls delegates with a well-received speech in which she tells her heartwarming story of growing up as an African American woman in Chicago.”
“...the month gets off to a rocky start when FBI Director James Comey, announcing the results of the bureau’s investigation, reveals that when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, her official emails, some including classified material, were basically as secure from prying eyes as a neon beer sign. Nevertheless Comey says he is recommending that no criminal charges be brought against Clinton, because, quote, “I don’t want to die.”
“Affordable Care Act (Motto: “If You Like Your Doctor, Maybe You’ll Like Your New Doctor”
“Trump’s victory stuns the nation. Not since the darkest days of the Civil War have so many Americans unfriended each other on Facebook. Some even take the extreme step of writing “open letters.” Angry, traumatized protesters cry, march, shout, smash windows, set fires — and that’s just the New York Times editorial board. Leading celebrities who vowed to leave the country if Trump won immediately start making plans to ... okay, to not actually leave the country per se, but next time they definitely will and YOU’LL BE SORRY.”
“Meanwhile the Democrats, now on a multi-year losing streak that has cost them the presidency, both houses of Congress and a majority of the state legislatures, desperately seek an explanation for their party’s failures. After a hard, critical look in the mirror, they are forced, reluctantly, to stop seeking scapegoats and place the blame where it belongs: the electoral college, the Russians, Facebook and of course James Comey.”
“The New York Times and Washington Post, seeking to improve their understanding of pro-Trump America, partner with TV network news divisions to create “Operation Outreach,” in which teams of reporters will travel to non-coastal regions carrying rucksacks full of chewing tobacco and moon pies, which they will trade with the natives in return for colorful quotes about their political views, religious beliefs, sex practices involving livestock, etc.”
Damn, what happened to Barry?
And right there Dave Barry nails the reality of the cornerstone legislation of the Obamanation. That one will take longer than executive orders because it is an actual law passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the President.
I thought it was fairly funny and hit both sides pretty equally. He is always over the top in his humor and he definitely did that on the political stuff. The Russian and North Korea stuff I found hilarious. Some of the Samsung stuff had me near tears.
What I did note was that he didn’t mention any terrorist attacks - not one. Most likely because he didn’t feel it was right to make fun of a situation that had victims. He could have hit the responses hard, but I think he chose the high road on this one.
