A Holiday Quiz

Dear Dr. Zack:

The holiday season breaks like a campaign promise upon the diamond-encrusted hull of the S.S. Reality. Now comes word that the Democrats will suspend the minority’s right to a Congressional filibuster. See what happens when you put the bro back into Guantanabro? Is this schoolyard bullying writ large? Would Richie Incognito bitchslap Sarah Palin in the context of tough­ening her up? Does anyone care?

As you can tell, the 50th anniversary of JFK’s murder sorta kinda has me contemplative. Or maybe suicidal. Is there an AMA-approved test that can point me in the general direction of truth? I tried signing up for Obama­care, but while waiting on hold for two weeks, I lost my house thanks to a mortgage scam.

On the bright side, the Niners are on Monday Night Football in a few hours and Fukushima is still leaking radioactive sludge into the Pacific. Serves them pointy-heads right after what they did at Pearl Harbor! Justice is red, white and BRUISE, mofos! As my friend who vaca­tions in Tijuana is fond of saying, “Payback is an itch!”
