You can’t make this shit up. If a Christmas Carol were written today, Tiny Tim’s crutches would be used by Scrooge to beat him before sending his whole family into bondage and giving Scrooge the proceeds, and David Gregory would lead a roundtable with the different ghosts where they would all explain that the lump of coal left in the Cratchit household would be better used by the producers in society.
3. You probably know this already but Cole is a former wingnut..
He had his Road to Damascus moment during the Terri Shiavo brouhaha.
Now he's like an ex smoker, he hates wingnuts with the fire of a thousand suns.
He was a good writer as a wingnut, I read him back then because his commenters were pummeling the hell out of him and he didn't ban people even for being nasty to him but he's a lot better now he's on the side of truth and justice.
Cratchit was a lazy ass who wanted the whole day off on Christmas - really, the whole fuckin' day.
I bet Scrooge would have liked to outsource that job to someone who appreciated it and would maybe use his own coal instead of expecting Scrooge to provide.
