tell me that this isnt about rite these days.

ya have heard about the grasshopper and the ant thing.
but for those who havnt here it is.

TRADITIONAL VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!



but due to the changing times and current events and the nature of the world we now live in, the story has ben changed to reflect current times.


*****MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.


CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.


America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the Grasshopper’s sake.


Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.


Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer!


The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.


Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008




now tell me that isnt about right these days.

....they're all the same.

The republicans aren`t any better. Mccain plans on doing the same thing. Take money from the hardworkers and give it back to the companies that screw their employees. It is a lose-lose situation!

Sad thing is that stupid americans vote these people in, mostly just because they are a woman, black or some Iran invasion pscho, or some other stupid reason.

starting to think they all love to joke & lie and do us all badly in the end. they can careless how they handle this nation.


funny thing is we voted a lot of people to work in Washington DC, they say they make this country great and even better.

but after a time the U.S.A get in the black-hole with death money & they don't even know how to handle money.

they would help other country but they don't give a rat*aa about their own people.

to me they are no then but a jokers.

i know FDR would kill them in a heart beat! for the crap they pulling off now days..
