Baked Democrat
Why Cannibals like politicians done rare...
How to find a rare politician

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant operated by a fellow cannibal.

Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu:

Broiled Missionary: $10.00
Fried Explorer: $15.00
Grilled Republican: $20.00
Baked Democrat: $1,000.00

The cannibal called the cook over and asked, “Why such a price difference for the Democrat?”

The cook replied, “Have you ever tried to clean one? They're so full of crap, it takes all morning to get them clean enough to cook.”
 

 

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I’d think the Democrats would be completely tainted throughout. Their kids sure are spoiled!

[bd476]

ROFLOL!

Bump !!

Hi bd476

[Lady Jag]

An oldie but a goodie.

 THE LITTLE RED HEN

Once upon a time, on a farm in Indiana, there was a little red hen who
scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of
wheat.  She called all of her neighbors together and said, "If we plant
this wheat, we shall have bread to eat.  Who will help me plant it?"

"Not I," said the Cow
"Not I," said the Duck
"Not I," said the Pig
"Not I," said the Goose

"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen, and she did.

The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.  "Who will help me
reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.

"Not I," said the Duck.
"Out of my classification," said the Pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the Cow
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the Goose.

"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen, and she did.

At last it came time to bake the bread.  "Who will help me bake the bread?"
asked the little red hen.

"That would be overtime for me," said the Cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the Duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the Pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the Goose.

"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen.  She baked five loaves
and held them up for all of her neighbors to see.  They wanted some and, in
fact, demanded a share.  But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all
five loaves".

"Excess profits!" cried the Cow.
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the Duck.
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the Goose.
The pig just grunted in disdain.

And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and around
the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

Then a government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not
be so greedy."

"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.

"Exactly," said the agent.  "That is what makes our free enterprise system
so wonderful.  Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants.  But
under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide
the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle."

And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who
smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand."  But her
neighbors became quite disappointed in her.  She never again baked bread
because she joined the "party" and got her bread free.

And all the Democrats smiled.  "Fairness" had been established.
Individual initiative had died but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared, as
long as there was free bread.

Bill Clinton is getting $l2 million for his memoirs.
Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for memories from two people who for eight years
repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

God Bless America!
