Backed by the Solid Gold band and featuring his longtime comedy partner Tom Davis as Keith Richards, Franken bounces around onstage and exhibits a near-perfect display of the rock star's compellingly ugly sensuality. (The "Start Me Up"-era Jazzercize outfits were a nice touch.) It's the rock-'n'-roll impersonation of a lifetime; if he retains even a tenth of this energy level in the Senate, the economy will be fixed in no time...

According to reports from nearby Shantou University, Guiyu has the highest level of cancer-causing dioxins in the world and elevated rates of miscarriages. "You see women sitting by the fireplace burning laptop adapters, with rivers of ash pouring out of houses," says Jim Puckett, founder of Basel Action Network (BAN), an e-waste watchdog.
