1)      You are in a lavatory stall when a conservative Republican Congressman peeks his head beneath the divider.  Do you?

a)      Give him a campaign contribution and run like hell.

b)      Ask him if he thinks Bush’s surge is working.

c)        Thank him for championing legislation that upholds the sanctity of marriage.

 The correct answer, of course, is none of the above.  You should probably spray the congressman with mace and move your family to Canada.  But because this is a multiple choice test devised by the mental health professionals any answer that you give can be interpreted as a sign that you are truly disturbed.  For instance:

2)      Imagine you are the president of the United States of America.  You’ve just ordered the invasion of country X, but you have inadvertently started a civil war.  Your generals tell you that cutting and running will spark a regional conflagration and staying the course will destroy America’s military.  Do you?

a)      See if the job you really wanted -- baseball commissioner – is still available.

b)      Do what you always do when you screw up; ask mom and dad for help.

c)       Take troops from country X and invade country Y.

d)      Blame the politicians in Washington.

Once again, the correct answer is none of the above.  The world was a mess before you took office and it will be a mess after you leave.  If the next guy/gal wants your job so bad, then let them figure out what to do.

The next question he designed to test if you have a conflict between the delusions of grandeur we all harbor and a natural resentment of authority figures.

3)       President Bush reminds me of which fictional superhero?

a)      Inspector Clouseau

b)      Mr. Bean
