Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry is a pretty amiable guy. But lately, hes been getting a little worked up. What could make a mild-mannered man of words so hot under the collar? Well, a lot of thingslike bad public art, Internet millionaires, SUVs, Regis Philbin . . . and even bigger problems, like

The slower-than-deceased-livestock left-lane drivers who apparently believe that the right lane is sacred and must never come in direct contact with tires
The parent-misery quotient of last-minute school science fair projects
Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe
The plague of the low-flow toilets, which is so bad that even in Miami, where you can buy drugs just by opening your front door and yelling Hey! I want some crack, you cant even sell your first born to get a normal-flushing toilet

Dave Barry is not taking any of this sitting down. Hes going to stand up for the rights of all Americans against ridiculously named specialty chino coffees and the IRS. Just as soon as he gets the darn toilet flushed.
