From the Do Not Take Yourself too Seriously Department—Dave Barry reviews the year 2012
It was a cruel, cruel year — a year that kept raising our hopes, only to squash them flatter than a dead possum on the interstate.
Example: This year the “reality” show Jersey Shore, which for six hideous seasons has been a compelling argument in favor of a major earth-asteroid collision, finally got canceled, and we dared to wonder if maybe, just maybe, we, as a society, were becoming slightly less stupid.
But then, WHAP, we were slapped in our national face by the cold hard frozen mackerel of reality in the form of the hugely popular new “reality” show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which, in terms of intellectual content, makes Jersey Shore look like Hamlet.
Read it all.

Why am I laughing] at this? 2012 was definitely of the “you can’t make this stuff up” department. Too bad Mark Russell has retired, and won’t be turning the train wreck of 2012 into ditty or two.
I think something set to tunes from The Mikado would be nice.
