Book Description

Publication Date: September 25, 2005

Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down: What's been getting Dave Barry all worked up lately? What can possibly induce him to rise up - yes, actually out of his chair - in indignation? Well, lots of things, including the real skinny on the IRS, Donald Trump, the airlines, and so much more... Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway: Below the Beltway includes Barry's stirring account of how the United States was born, including his version of a properly written Declaration (When in the course of human events it behooves us, the people, not to ask "What can our country do for us, anyway?" but rather whether we have anything to fear except fear itself) and a revised Constitution (Section II: The House of Representatives shall be composed of people who own at least two dark suits and have not been indicted recently). Boogers Are My Beat: Dave Barry gives us the real scoop on: • The scientific search for the world’s funniest joke • RV camping in the Wal-Mart parking lot • Outwitting "smart" kitchen appliances and service contracts • Elections in Florida • The Olympics, where people from all over the world come together to accuse each other of cheating • The truth about the Dakotas, the Lone Ranger, and feng shui • The choice between death and taxes And much, much more - including some truths about journalism and serious thoughts about 9/11.

This review is from: Dave Barry CD Collection: Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down, Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway, Boogers Are My Beat (Audio CD)

These are not Dave's best work. The humor seems a bit formulaic & stale. It's still enjoyable if you're a hardcore Barry fan.

My biggest issue is with the CDs themselves. My player seems to have a problem reading them, often it takes several tries. Then each CD is broken into 'tracks' that are maybe 30 seconds long. So it's rather a pain to skip through the CD to the place you left off. There are 100 tracks per CD. What's the point of that?
