I'm only half way through it, and already I want to post the link.

Dave Barry is a genius humorist, but 2011 was beyond parody. Dave's riff on Occupy Wall Street, for instance, could not rise above simple reportage:

"[P]eople who were sick and tired of a lot of stuff finally got off their butts and started working for meaningful change via direct action in the form of sitting around and forming multiple committees and drumming and not directly issuing any specific demands but definitely having a lot of strongly held views for and against a wide variety of things. Incredibly, even this did not bring about meaningful change. The economy remanded wretched, especially unemployment, which got so bad that many Americans gave up even trying to work. Congress, for example."
