Pic Of The Moment: GOP Congressman Complains About Paycheck, Votes To Slash Food Stamps

20. I wonder, when they read "A Christmas Carol"

during the yuletide, do they identify with Ebenezer Scrooge and root for his miserliness? Do they think they should kick Tiny Tim in the ass and tell him to pull himself up from his bootstraps? Should Bob Cratchit not get that extra piece of coal for warmth while completing the end-of-year reports?

And that Scrooge should buy the largest duck hanging at the shop, and eat it himself, right in the presence of all the poor, destitute and hungry.

It's as though all those Christmas stories, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Christmas Carol, The Little Drummer Boy, Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer all gave no meaning to these people. These very same people who profess to have an undying love for Jesus and all that he stands for. I just don't get it.
