I have no idea who Ricky Gervais is, and after reading this on James Taranto's
Best of the Web Today on Tuesday, I have no desire to:
"A Holiday Message From Ricky Gervais: Why I'm an Atheist" --headline, WSJ.com, Dec. 19
To call this a Scrooge-like gesture is to demean Scrooge. All Ebenezer demanded was the right to leave Christmas alone. This pompous twit has to do the equivalent of loading up on the chili before attending the funeral of someone he doesn't like. So, in the same spirit of Gervaisian courtesy, I offer the following:
A Holiday message to Ricky Gervais -- Nobody cares why you're an atheist. Good luck explaining it to God, though.
