...build but not his politics: in real life, Farley is a Republican. So are the actors who play three ghosts who visit Malone to awaken his patriotism--Kelsey Grammer as George Patton, Jon Voight as George Washington and Chriss Anglin as Republicans' favorite Democrat, John F. Kennedy. Conservative country singer Trace Adkins shows up as the angel of death, and Bill O'Reilly plays another imposing figure: himself. To persuade Malone, the ghosts frighten him with visions of classic liberal villains--zombie ACLU lawyers staggering into court, Ivy League professors singing a ditty about being stuck...

...time I thought the song was about the complex of buildings that are effectively the headquarters of the Communist Party of China. I thought that I had perhaps stumbled upon a band singing true songs of (gasp!) protest—at least until the lead singer Zhang Shuowang broke into the chorus. It is not hyperbole to say that I have never seen so many cigarettes in the air at one time in my entire life. Fans began hurling them by the handful at the band as they sang, as if to the beat. Days later, my embarrassed coworker...
