Dave Barry reviews the year that was 2005. I love Dave Barry, he always is good for one "laugh till I cry" moment, but in addition to that this column speaks the truth about the Plame Affair:

I'll be honest: I don't really know who "Scooter" is, or what he allegedly did. He's involved in one of those inside-the-Beltway-style scandals that are very, very important but way too complicated for regular non-Beltway humans to comprehend. You try to read a Scooter story, and, next thing you know, you're emerging from a coma weeks later with spiders nesting in your ears.

That is exactly how I feel about the whole mess. I think it may be important, but I can't, for the life of me, tell you why or say that I really care that much. Am I still under the spell of the MSM?

Ohh... get out dam spiders! Scat!
