And, from Free Conservatives, our thought of the night:

And in Scrooge, I always felt bad for Ebeneezer. The welfare bums wanted a piece of him, but Scrooge was a total badass. He had good traits. He was frugal, hard working and innovative. Its too bad he softened up in that classic. The lefties and the ghosts denutted him and made him their little state bitch, a slave of the poor, guilting the poor bastard to death of his estate. The writer/director had everything upside down in that movie. The lazy asses converted Scrooge. Why couldn’t Scrooge have influenced the lazy asses?
