Worst of all, Julius' "voyage of discovery" is tortuously boring. Where Dorothy meets sympathetic souls on her way to Oz and shares adventures with them, Julius just keeps bumping into rock stars who stay on screen long enough to do quick, generally wooden cameos.

Jesse Jackson, invoking Social Security's creator, tells voters that he "would rather have Franklin Roosevelt in a wheelchair than Ronald Reagan on a horse." Virtually all have come out in support of the long-term health- care bill now stalled in Congress, which, if it ever passed, would cost the Government tens of billions of dollars over the next five years.
