Steve Post, ever ambivalent, cries “Ho, Ho Humbug” and urges us all to put the X back into XMAS. This week’s NO SHOW features Steve singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” in a truly extraordinary rendition (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) and a special edition of The Broken News department with a follow-up on “The European Dwarf Shortage: A Growing Problem.” By and large, the music is not as annoying as you might expect, but some of it is.
