There are some subjects – like economics – that Steve does not want to know a whole lot about. Ignorance may not be bliss, but bliss is more than he hopes for. Simple ignorance is enough in itself. But on other matters, like Charles Darwin’s polyps, Steve wants to know everything there is to know (having himself had bad experiences with polyps). Fortunately, Darwin scholar and channeler, Richard Milner, is on hand to tell all. In other business, we learn that although nothing else is selling, gun sales are running 40% ahead of this time last year. And we induct Miriam Makeba into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis.
