The ANT
AND THE
GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different ....
Two Different Versions ...
Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION

Theantworks hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter.

Thegrasshopper
thinks theantis a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, theantis warm and well fed.

Thegrasshopperhas no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!


MODERN VERSION

Theantworks hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long,
building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

Thegrasshopperthinks theantis a fool and laughs and dances
and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shiveringgrasshoppercalls a press conference
and demands to know why theantshould be allowed to be warm
and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN,andABCshow up to provide pictures of the
shiveringgrasshoppernext to a video of theantin 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
Grasshopperis allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frogappears onOprahwith thegrasshopper
and everybody cries when they sing,'It's Not Easy BeingGreen...'

ACORNstages a demonstration in front of theant'shouse where
the news stations film theSEIUgroup singing,We shall overcome.

ThenRev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for
Thegrasshopper'ssake,
while he damns theants.

President Obamacondemns theant and blames President Bush 43,
President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus,
and the Pope for thegrasshopper'splight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview withLarry King
that theanthas gotten rich off the back ofthegrasshopper,
and both call for an immediate tax hike on theantto make him
pay his fair share.

Finally, theEEOCdrafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

Theantis fined for failing to hire a proportionate number ofgreen bugs
and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is
confiscated by theGovernmentGreenCzarand given to thegrasshopper.

The story ends as we see thegrasshopperand his free-loading friends
finishing up the last bits of theant'sfood while the government house
he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be theant'sold house,
crumbles around them because thegrasshopper doesn't maintain it.

Theanthas disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

Thegrasshopperis found dead in a drug related incident, and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang ofspiderswho terrorize the
ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entireNationcollapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:


Be careful how you vote in 2012.

And, if you criticize the grasshopper, you're a racist.
