America is stunned by the sharp contrast. <br /> <br /> How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper <br /> is allowed to suffer so? <br /> <br /> Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody <br /> cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.' <br /> <br /> Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where <br /> the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse <br /> then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. <br /> <br /> Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that <br /> the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for <br /> an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. <br /> <br /> Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act <br /> retroactive to the beginning of the summer. <br /> <br /> The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs <br /> and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is <br /> confiscated by the government. <br /> <br /> Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a <br /> defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal <br /> judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare <br /> recipients. <br /> <br /> The ant loses the case. <br /> <br /> The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of <br /> the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be <br /> the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. <br /> <br /> The ant has disappeared in the snow. <br /> <br /> The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, <br /> now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once <br /> peaceful neighborhood. <br /> <br /> MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008 <br /> <br /> "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear & the blind can <br /> read."...Mark Twain <br /> <strong></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7132701810565060873-793758667353002325?l=whiteandblackie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>WLBT111http://www.blogger.com/profile/14076029957683250620noreply@blogger.com0
