Stressed out by Iowa? Read these Dave Barry columns about

the caucuses.

(I think the one from 1/17 is especially funny. :-) )

1. Thanks for the link

This was my favorite, from 1/16:

And yet, somehow, out of this process emerges a winner, as the voters of Iowa -- having carefully considered all the candidates and their views on the complex issues facing the nation -- vote for the person who looks and sounds the most like he comes from Iowa.

Usually, this is Rep. Dick ''Dick'' Gephardt, five-time winner of the World's Whitest Man competition. Dick comes from Missouri (a state near Iowa) and has won the Iowa caucuses 14 times, although once he was edged out by Sen. Tom Harkin, who is actually FROM Iowa.
