Charlie Daniel, 12/1/11:
I assume that this cartoon is saying that, given the recent flood of statistics about the poor and near-poor in the US, this goonish-looking fellow is going to steal Christmas even before the Grinch could.
And that, of course, would completely ignore the actual message of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," viz., that Christmas is not a thing that can be stolen in the first place.
So let's hope Daniel had some other message, though I have no clue what that might be.
