A big part of my growing up was reading (and looking forward to) every Dave Barry column. He was a trailblazing humor writer who has been, more than anyone else I have read, consistently funny. His writings have been cheekily filled with the inefficiencies of government bureaucrats and the sinister nature of the IRS. Spurred by an instance of Marquette University demanding someone take down a quote of his about distrust of government, he talks about speech codes with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
