The Ant and the Grasshopper

The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

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 antis a fool and laughs and dances, drinks beer and smokes dope, 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?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper
and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'

ACORN stagesa 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 ant.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, capitalism, 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 GreenCzar 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 now ramshackle, but 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.

[MurrayFiend]

Wow. This really made me think. And you're right...

Black people are like spiders.

[joey64]

what do you call a person who follows you around a message board? a homosexual with a crush on you

what do you call that person when they say they put you on foe & they cannot read your posts, but they still follow you around?? a liar

[MurrayFiend]

You calling me a fucking liar? Oh no!





Yeah, in this case I chose the 'display this post' option. What can I say? I have a weakness for right-wing chain e-mail lunacy.

Later, mutual foe.

P.S. I foed you first. And you replied to one of my threads just recently. On this board.

Fuck you, asshole. It took me a week to kill the freeloading ants that invaded my house last summer.
