The Ant and the Grasshopper with a Twist... :-D

Dad sent me this e-mail and I thought it was hilarious. It's political, so if I offend anyone, I'm sorry, but I thought it was funny - and true!

Enjoy!

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?

 

Kermit the Frog appears

on Oprah

with the grasshopper

and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not EasyBeing Green...'

 

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 Obamacondems 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 ofthe

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 GovernmentGreen Czar

and given  to thegrasshopper.

 

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.
