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
Al Sharpton's assistant Has the group kneel down to pray for the
grasshopper While he damns the ants. The Reverend Al can not attend
as he has contractual commitments to appear on his MSNBC show for
which he is paid over two million dollars a year to complain that
rich people do not care. President Obama condemns the ant And blames Bush 43, Bush 41, Reagan, Christopher
Columbus, and the Pope For the grasshopper's Plight, Nancy Pelosi &
Harry Reid Exclaim in an interview on The View 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.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 Government Green Czar And given to the grasshopper. 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-So the moral
of the story is to eliminate Social Security, which also covered the
ant at a far higher rate than the grasshopper who worked less? Please
make your goals clear so people can realize that the indolent wealthy
are the grasshoppers of this world- So when the wealth grasshoppers
work the ants to death and deprive them of their social safety net
when times are tough and the ants die off without adequate health
care, then eventually the wealthy grasshoppers suffer too because
they didn't take care of the ants like a good liberal-sterling logic
and patience and detailed explanations were being wasted on a roomful

that point, why not? What's the risk? That they might not like me?
ROTFLMAO or refuse to take my advice? Or deny me the joy of working

not some amorphous horde of anonymous cyber pissants. In fact, quite
of few of them were my BOSSES. As you might suspect, my no nonsense
approach to problem identification and resolution, not to mention
reluctant adopters, occasionally got me fired, but never for being
wrong. The only times I ever got canned were for being right once too
often, and or for rubbing it in again. Which reminds me: how many
times did you and your like minded pals predict the outcome of the
last President election INCORRECTLY? Answer: every time! Meanwhile, I
was consistently, repeatedly, and correctly predicting not only the
eventual winner and his popular vote margin within 1 percent, but
also the exact Electoral College within 1 state (Florida).
Nevertheless, a certain vehement subset of wingnut ignoramuses

warned that Israeli policies in the West Bank “threaten to make a

inconsistency of chastising Israel with one hand while rewarding it
with the other, not one minister was prepared to oppose Tuesday’s
agreement, struck by the fact that a whole range of relations was
offered to Israel, at the request of Israel, as if nothing is
happening on the ground, the diplomat said. “Most ministers are
too afraid to speak out in case they are singled out as being too
critical towards Israel, because, in the end, relations with Israel
are on the one hand relations with the Jewish community at large and
on the other hand with Washington, nobody wants to have fuss with
