Welcome to the Tuesday edition of The Mark Steyn Show, in which Mark addresses the latest on lockdowns and 'lections ...and an unsettling pandemic of official government jokes.

Also: Steyn talks latkes with Martha Stewart. Click above to listen. For that brave band who prefer Mark on video, he'll be joining Tucker Carlson live across America tomorrow, Wednesday, at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific. If you're minded to stick with non-visual formats, he'll be launching our latest Yuletide Tale for Our ...

Topical Take
Yesterday the President of the United States pardoned, among others, the first Trump campaign member to plead "guilty" in the Mueller Russia investigation: George Papadopoulos. From 2016 onwards, the most powerful figures in the most powerful surveillance agencies on earth dedicated themselves to subverting, first, the ruling party's principal political opponent and, then, the duly elected head of government and his administration. None of them will pay a price; some of them are still in power, and some of them will return to power in the weeks ahead. Meanwhile, a presidential candidate compromised by a Chinese honey trap continues to sit on the House Intelligence Committee - and America's "newspaper of record" has made not a single ...

A Clubman's Notes
Tales for Our Time-wise, we've been spending this December in and around New York, both with P G Wodehouse's Psmith, Journalist and with our brace of Damon Runyon capers - Three Wise Guys and Dancing Dan's Christmas. And in a certain sense this latest of our Yuletide yarns is also rooted in the Big Apple, as it came to me a couple of weeks ago when I was on the telly with Tucker and he brought up the subject of Rockefeller Center's unusually tatty Christmas tree. Well, we played it for laughs on screen. But the forlorn symbolism of the thing stayed with me, so one morning I woke early and (as I do every other Christmas or so) I wrote it up as a short story, which tells the tale of a conniving governor and the strange choice for his capital ...
