In this holiday season, there is always a place for nuts — chestnuts, cashews, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, and brazil nuts. Tom Tomorrow gives us another holiday treat: the Wingnut! 'Tis a pity that Mel Tormé has gone to the Great Concert Hall in the Sky or Wherever because he could do a new rendition of "The Chrismas Song" — Wingnuts Roasting On An Open Fire. If this is (fair & balanced) holiday viciousness, so be it.
