Forgotten but not gone, Steve Post is back again and up to his old tricks in this, the first of a limited series of eight NO SHOWS. Steve reminds us, in case we had forgotten, that holidays top his enormous list of least favorite things, a list that grows by the day.
Steve holds up Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve for special ridicule, then submits George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Rod Blagojevich to similar treatment. In a doomed effort to advance the public good, Steve offers a partial solution to America’s economic woes -- edible money – along with a suitable marketing slogan: “Put your money where your mouth is.” Be sure to listen. Hearing is believing. Seeing, not so much.
