Dave Barry 2004 Recap!

? We somehow managed to hold a presidential election campaign that for several months was devoted almost entirely to the burning issue of: Vietnam.
? Our Iraq policy, despite being discussed, debated and agreed upon right up to the very highest levels of the White House, did not always seem to be wildly popular over there in Iraq.
? Osama bin Laden remained at large for yet another year (although we did manage, at long last, to put Martha Stewart behind bars).
? The federal budget deficit continued to worsen, despite the concerted effort of virtually every elected official in Washington ? Republican or Democrat ? to spend more money.
? As a nation, we managed somehow to get even fatter, despite the fact that anti-carbohydrate mania worsened to the point where the average American would rather shoot heroin than eat a bagel.
? The "reality"-show cancer continued to metastasize, so that you couldn't turn on the TV without seeing either Donald Trump or a cavalcade of dimwits emoting dramatically about eating bugs, losing weight, marrying a millionaire or remodeling a bathroom.
