Guglielmo Giannini e Umberto Bossi, Achille Lauro e Antonio Di Pietro, le campagne di Almirante per la pena di morte e le esternazioni di Cossiga, la rivolta di Reggio Calabria e gli show televisivi di Berlusconi, i referendum radicali contro il finanziamento pubblico dei partiti e i girotondi capeggiati da Nanni Moretti, per finire - momentaneamente - con Beppe Grillo ossessionato dagli zombie e dal "tutti a casa": che cosa accomuna eventi e personaggi così disparati?
