He parodies a Santa Claus image delivering free checks, notes mixed reactions in Congress, and criticizes the idea as fiscal overreach. The piece shifts to remarks on blasphemy and memory lapses in celebrity trials, then to a lighthearted riff on Hollywood brawls and scriptwriters Riskin and Ruskin, ending with a tease about English Reds.
