I think infanticide is quite an appropriate option for women in areas
where abortion is more dangerous than childbirth, as in some places in
the third world.  Aristotle thought infanticide was an appropriate way
to deal with unwanted children and I agree that it was sensible in
ancient greece.  I think with all the fine medical technology that we
have available in the US, it may be appropriate to forbide infanticide
except for severly deformed infants.  I certainly don't think we have
the right to feel superior to a third world woman who may think and
exercise different opinions on the subject.

just got a hand written letter back (fast response!) saying "You have a

  Perot's withdrawl did not come as a big suprise to those of us in the

  problems, (b) his popularity in the polls has been declining, and (c)
  we were getting tired of the paranoid little ferret.

Is Dave writing some special columns for the Herald that aren't being

Some guy invented a prarie dog vacum. It's supposed to be a humane way of 
removing them from places like airports and, I guess, rallies. They joked 
about it back on Carson.

No, you're all wrong.  As The Frantics have point out, the
appropriate fauna to use in assaulting a lawyer is a rabid
Tasmanian Devil, to be placed in the lawyer's trousers.

The Oregonian printed three, but they weren't the same ones.  We didn';t
have one on Perot, but we did have one on Hillary Clinton.  I looked all
over the paper on the fourth day of the convention and didn't find his

   I had the same thing happen to me.  I wrote to Dave saying how much I
admired him and enjoyed reading his works.  I also asked him for a bumper
sticker and a copy of his political platform, if any.  He wrote back within
a week, saying:

   Dipesh - 
	Here are the stickers.  You can make up your own political platform...
I'm sure I'd agree with it.

					Dave Barry



   I was astonished.  He must received hundreds of letters a day, and he took
the time to hand write one back to me and many others, I'm sure.  What a guy.
I'm dead serious...someone who cares like this _should_ be president.

   To blatantly steal something from Wayne's World, when I got the letter and
saw he wrote it himself, I began yelling "We're not worthy, Dave, we're not
worthy..." 8) 8) 8)

I haven't read that column, but I have a couple comment about 
the incident:

This is really disgusting.  I can't imagine a more heinous crime
than described here.  It is typically of Mr. Barry's irresponsible 
attitude towards our government that he suggests Congress as an
appropriate place for a woman so utterly lacking in moral values
and judgement that she would attack a lawyer with a dead raccoon.
As all right-thinking people are aware, a dead raccoon is entirely
inappropriate, what you want in this sort of situation is a live
porcupine.

According to the latest Advance Comics (which also lists a fair number of

Does Japan" (unfortunately my comics dealer works with a different distributor,
so I only skimmed the AC in another store). The topic it covers should be
obvious...

Anyone else think Dave should change his name to H. Ross Perot to avoid the
hassles of actually getting on the ballot in 30 or so states?

A few months ago there was a story on one of the cable news stations
about vacuuming prairie dogs.  They showed a demonstration of the
machine.  It looked like a very large canister vacuum cleaner. 
Evidently the suction was strong enough to pick up the prarie dogs but
not enough to hurt them.  According to the report they were a little
dizzy but soon recovered.  It looked like the dirt was packed hard
enough that it would stay on the ground while the unsuspecting prarie
dogs would get the ride of their lives.

   Hello, fellow Daveheads...
   I just found this group, and I've got a story for you.


   In February, I took a trip to New Hampshire with a political reporting
   class here at Syracuse University.  We were there to cover the
   campaign and see the madness for ourselves.  The first night there,
   we went to a shopping mall where Bush was appearing. It was cold.

   While were were standing around waiting for Bush to arrive, one of
   my classmates said to me: "You know that guy Dave Barry you're always
   talking about? Well, there he is."

   Sure enough, I looked, and there he was. I couldn't believe it.

   "Go talk to him," one of my classmates said. So I went and stood next
   to him.

   "Excuse me," I said. "But aren't you Dave Barry? I'm a big fan of
   yours."

   He looked at me. "Nope. I'm not him. You've got the wrong guy. It's
   not me," he said.

   I felt kind of stupid. But I kept talking to him, small talk.  He
   pulled out a reporter's notebook and started taking notes. We chatted
   about the weather (very cold) and about Bush. Then, we left.

   I was dissapointed. I figured he was just a little to busy to be
   bothered, and that he probably gets tired of people approaching him,
   etc.

   A few weeks later, I saw Dave's column on acting stupid when you talk
   to famous people.  So I couldn't resist. I wrote him a letter saying
   that I had acted stupid when I met him, and that he had 'stolen' the
   column from me, and that he could make up for snubbing me by sending
   his autograph.

   Not many days afterward, I got a letter in the mail, from the Miami
   Herald. It was a short handwritten note, on "Dave Barry For President"
   stationary.

   It said: "Dear Darin -- Hey, you can be in the cabinet if you want.
   Dave Barry, front-runner, hanging around malls."

   It came with a "Dave Barry For President" bumper sticker.


   Now I have a prized possession.
