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 OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard
in the withering heat and the rain 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
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is 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?

Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing We Shall Overcome.
Then Rev Jeremiah Wright
has the group kneel down to
pray for the grasshopper's sake,
while he damns the ants.
President Obama condemns
the ant and blames
President Bush 43,
President Bush 41,
President Reagan,
Christopher Columbus,
and the Pope
for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & 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 &
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 Green Czar
and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
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 ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be careful how you vote in 2012.
- he invades Iran
- hanges Isreal out to dry (na, most of you are anti-semteic anyway - that means you're racists btw)
- admits he's muslim (even though he already admitted it more than once)
- decides America should be under sharia law
- admits his birth certificate is fake and he lied to you (not us, we already know)
- caught banging a 15 yo boy in the WH?
What would it take...seriously?
Now it is okay to say this about our President in a time of war?
What is different?
hmmmm.
OH YEAH- BUSH IS WHITE...
RACIST REPUBLICANS ARE PATHETIC.
The Dixie Chicks were in the UK on concert when they said it and they only said it once in 2003...which came after 9.11.01 - we were at war then too, so WTF! People pay for entertainment NOT their political view. Entertainers should keep their mouth shut. They want to mouth off, do it on their own time and on their own dime not someone else’s.
Bush was President it happened under his watch and he only vetoes 12 bills his 8 years.. Plus the economy was tanking even before the 2006 elections....New housing was crashing, etc....
Bush's policies were still in effect after 2007 into 2009 so the same great policies you're bragging about, nice spin..lol
http://money.cnn.com/2006/12/...
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The economy is stumbling at the end of 2006, setting off alarm bells that growth might not just slow next year but that the nation could tumble into a recession.
2005 the House passed a bill regulating the GSE's Frank is member of that House.... The Senate failed to pass their bill...
17 GOP Senators sided with the Democrats to not pass the Senate bill.. That was the end of attempts to regulate till the government took them over in 2008..
In 2005 and 2006, the private sector securitized almost two thirds of all U.S. mortgages, supplanting Fannie and Freddie, according to a number of specialty publications that track this data..
Oh yea did I mention Bush's policies were in effect till 2009...
Or maybe that Obama cries that the current congress won't allow him to do anything but somehow Bush got his agenda furthered in a congress lead by Pelosi?
Reagan's and his tax increases, 11 of them or so...
Bottom line is both are to blame, the difference is how to fix it..
We'll save the games for the party who hasn't presented a budget in four years!
Please. Turn off the madcow for a little while. And really turn off wife beater Ed.
Obama's budget has never came up for a vote....
