It was very late on Christmas Eve, almost midnight, when the bell tolled for Ebenezer Bush. But as he lay awake, well past his bedtime, the knocking at his door grew louder and louder.
`Who is there? What fell spirit has come to disturb me?' he cried out. Then, as the door opened, he saw the ghost.
It was tall and thin, with small round glasses and a goatee beard. Tied to its body were some domestic dustbins, on each of which was scorched the word `History'.

Anyway, I now sleep with goggles over my eyes and earplugs. Also, I have decided after much internal debate that I am not going to Mongolia this year or next. This may take a while to get over, but I take it day by day.
"...since the Trotskyists, like all Bolsheviks (or Marxists) do not recognize the principles of morality, there is, consequently, no ‘principled’ difference between Trotskyism and Stalinism Q.E.D." ~ Leon Trotsky
Shouldn't it "A Hannukah Carol?"
I love how the Pseudo-Conservative author is so PC as to title it a "holiday" carol and also to wish everyone a "happy holiday" at the end.
And they wonder why they lost.
