Is it ok to still be amused by Dave Barry here? Today's column on the DNC

[highplainsdem]

And of course it takes shots at all available targets.

I still thought it was funny. Too damn much seriousness here.

And I've always loved Dave Barry.

1. OMG PUMA FREEPER TROLL IBTL

:rofl::thumbsup:

[tabatha]

2. Funny

But this "I'll be on hand to report all the convention-news " should have been "I'll be on hand to report all the contention-news ",

[Bluzmann57]

3. That was damn funny

Why even take it seriously? Barry is a witty guy. I'm still laughing over his comment about Biden's speech. "8:48 'til dawn." That's funny.

4. 8:48 'til dawn

Now that is funny! :evilgrin:

[nxylas]

6. "No offense to the Muslim socialist vampire lesbian community"

:rofl:

16. It shouldn't be taken seriously. I loved this Barry column. But several weeks ago when I posted

something funny, an Andy Borowitz piece from HuffPo, I came under fire from a DUer who thought I'd posted it as a "hit piece." Evil former Clinton supporter that I am...

5. "A Unified Party, United in Unity Together As One, Undivided.''

:rofl:

Thanks!

7. "It's an exciting time to be a political ``junkie.

"Please,shoot me". I don't care whether it's cool to like Dave Barry or not,he makes me laugh out loud.

[OwnedByFerrets]

8. Yeah, hes real

fucking funny. Had me rolling in the floor with this line. "And after all that, she loses the nomination to a guy who has roughly the same amount of executive governmental experience as Hannah Montana."
:puke:

[bidenista]

9. sheesh, lighten up

Did you notice that he also said Obama was going to turn into a bat? Do you know the difference between comedy and factual reporting?

[sufrommich]

11. And Hillary is not going to

escape with (the nomination) by helicopter to a secret mountain fortress" either. Comedy is lost on many.

[OwnedByFerrets]

23. Nope, not gonna lighten up when its

something that will be used down here in the south to hurt our chances. And I get fucking tired of folks who think their brand of humor is something everyone should support. :P

[highplainsdem]

18. Yes, and they "have a net" ready if Clinton doesn't do the right thing. It's satire.

[mitchum]

10. Why would I change my opinion of Barry? I've never thought he was funny.

[On the Road]

12. I Liked the Bit about the "Air Quotes"

[melody]

13. I think Dave is hilarious

Always have, always will, no matter the changing nature of his politics (steadily moving moderate again).

Dennis Miller, on the other hand, is another matter.

[planetc]

14. "sporadic gunfire" -- ROTFL, thanks, eom

[KoKo]

15. It's a funny read...and we need some humor in the times we live in to stave off the

24 hr. Meds...we might need without it.

Thanks for the post. This household got a good laugh about it...and we might not have searched out Barry...to find the humor.

THANKS!

17. ``A Unified Party, United in Unity Together As One, Undivided.''

:rofl:

[goodgd_yall]

19. Lol! Thanks for the offering of humor n/t

[Eyes_wide_ open]

20. I've got to tell you, HPD,

that I disagree with A LOT of your posts (I read much of this forum everyday but don't post much myself).

But THIS was fucking hilarious :rofl:

Some folks around here need to lighten up, seriously :silly:

[highplainsdem]

21. That's okay. There are a lot of posts here

that I disagree with. And I respond to very few of those.

:toast:

Glad you liked the Barry column. :)

[mac56]

22. I think Dave Barry is the funniest man in the known universe.

But then, what do I know?

Thanks for the post.
