Our earlier evil premonition that some columnist at the DMN would try to answer Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry’s take-down of Dallas has come all too true.

We were tipped to Blow’s preview OF HIS OWN COLUMN!!!!! by a staffer at the paper, who apparently is feeling the pain for all in Belo-ville. But the pain ain’t but started. We warned about a cliche-a-thon to come, and it’s already delivered with this memorable Blow to literary decency, a withering riposte against Miami:
