The Ant And The Grasshopper
Classic 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 he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed...Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Liberal Version:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up Heath supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's 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 allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with the 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 than has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake in and non.
Al Gore exclaims an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share!"
Finally, the EOC 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...
Hilary 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 appointed from a list of single parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing of the last bits of the ant's food will 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: ???
So sorry, I stand corrected
By the way how many is a bazillion?
LOL! I ain't that damned smart. I just like throwing it around and making myself sound smart.
One-hundredth of a godzillion.
