Even as novelty records go, All I Want for Christmas Is a Tax Increase is a chore -- gags like "It's Beginning to Look Like Warren Christopher," "Why's Madonna Kissing Santa Claus, " "Gun Nuts Boasting They Can Open Fire" and "Twelve Days of Clinton" quickly run out of steam, and it's impossible to imagine any of the songs here being even remotely funny over the course of Christmas seasons to follow. ~ Marvin Jolly minimize
