No more of a joke than most candidates

I thought Dave Barry retired ages ago. Does he wear a hairpiece? Geez, I haven’t had a mane like that since Steve Perry topped the charts. Anyway, Barry is running for president—or at least, that’s his premise over at McClatchy’s relaunched Web site on all things political. Barry hopes to pick Keith Richards as his running mate, though Journey frontman Perry is the hot washed-up rocker right now, and “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” has to be somebody’s 2008 campaign theme song.
