Here's a new slant on 'The Ant and the Grasshopper' story....... ......
OLD 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!

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 allowed
to 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.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stage
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 poor grasshopper' s sake.
Obama & Nancy Pelosi exclaim
in an interview 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.
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 had appointed from a list of ultra-Liberals.
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 died alone 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.
