    Its just a joke...keep it out of the temp please



    An old fable with 2004 reality


    OLD VERSION:
    The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
    house and laying up supplies for the winter. The gr****opper thinks he's
    a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter,
    the ant is warm and well fed.

    The gr****opper 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 gr****opper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
    summer away.

    Come winter, the shivering gr****opper 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, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering
    gr****opper 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 gr****opper is allowed to suffer so?


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

    Jesse Jackson stages 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
    gr****opper's sake.

    Tom Daschle & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Peter Jennings
    that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the gr****opper, 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 and Anti-Gr****opper 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.

    Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the gr****opper in a
    defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of
    federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare
    recipients.

    The ant loses the case.

    The story ends as we see the gr****opper 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 disappeared in the snow.


    The gr****opper 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: Vote Republican
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

    The other way of looking at this story is the Republicans would simply ignore the whole situation because they are too busy spending money they don't have on the war between the centipedes (that they determine the US should back) and the scorpions who vaguely threaten the insect colony with imaginary Raid cans they reportedly have hidden in a nearby storage shack.

      Saddly Republicans are no longer what they used to be.

      Otherwise, I read it a while ago.
