Fix, The
From a new team of writers comes a hard-edged, hard-boiled commentary on the American political machine. Part tabloid, part “The Manchurian Candidate,” The Fix is a totally original biting satire ripped from the headlines of today, yesterday, and most likely tomorrow. A popular presidential candidate is dead, and his wife, who has power on the brain, thrusts her son into the political spotlight. Her maniacal scheming is matched by that of her crippled brother-in-law, who will stop at nothing to see the boy elected. Together, the three of them make up one of the most dysfunctional almost-first families this side of real life Washington politics.
Flahooley!

When the warehouses collapse, the streets are flooded with free dolls, causing panic in the markets.

During their journey the Wise Men meet the evil Herod and inform him of their trip. On hearing this Herod decides that this new baby who is to be king must die.
