This is not happening... Dave go bye-bye

Augh! According to this story:

Dave Barry, The Herald's humor columnist for the past 20 years, said Tuesday that he will take an indefinite leave of absence from the newspaper. He may return in a year.

[Sound of The Styx weeping]

Barry said he has not decided whether he will return to writing his weekly column in 2006.

And, no, I don't think the Styx is a good substitute for The Barry. You need to go to the source. Of course, his columns from the early 80s are the best stuff he's done, so maybe he can recharge his funny-batteries... aw, who am I kidding [more weeping]
