...those living outside Britain, the pantomime (or panto for short) can seem like a bizarre, and perhaps inappropriate, Christmas tradition. In the shows, theater companies take popular children's stories such as Aladdin, Cinderella and Snow White and spice them up with audience participation, cross-dressing, double entendres, sexual innuendo and deliberately hammy acting.

Beck is a charlatan: he has made himself rich off people's fears without making the slightest constructive comment about national issues. Instead, he has spread innuendo to keep his audience happy. He's a TV evangelist who makes altar calls and then drives away in his Cadillac. Alan Moen, Entiat, Wash...
