The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different .... Two Different Versions ... Two Different Morals OL D VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat 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 ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION
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 Easy Being Green...'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome.
Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for thegrasshopper's sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blames
President Bush, 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 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 GreenCzar 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 grasshopperdoesn'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.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be careful how you vote in 2012.

 Virgin Alert The Nation of Extremism launched an appeal for virgins today after it was revealed that numbers of available virgins for dead heros had reached dangerously low levels. "Under Islamic law," explained Mohammad Mahakmahadahha, head of Islamic Virgin Studies at Iranistan University, "a man who sacrifices himself in the name of Islam is entitled to the services of seven virgins upon his arrival in paradise. And with the war with the American Military, we've had word from paradise that they are running dangerously low on virgins." Mr Mahakmahadahha's search is hampered by the lack of maturing women in Islamic countries. Even Asian women who manage to keep a hand on their virginity have to survive great hardships of drought, famine, and being stoned to death for whistling on a Tuesday. "It is a problem," said Mr Mahakmahadahha. "One solution might be if we can persuade our great heroes in paradise to cut down on their quota of virgins, to not take their full allocation. Perhaps we can make it up to them by allowing them to have a few non- virgins who are low milage.." If you have, or know of any virgin and would like to help, the appeal address is: The Big Cave Behind the Rubble Down the Trail Thru the Pass Afghanistan. "Please, please, give generously," said Mr Mahakmahadahha. "Even if you're unsure of your virgin's status, send her anyway. We promise to return her in a shoebox if she's not a virgin, and you might just be helping a hero in paradise." Other news: The new Afghan G'ment representatives have promised to improve the lot of women in their society. They are debating now to allow women to drive goat carts..if they have a valid license, permission from their husband, and a man relative is present. Hopefully, that will expand to donkey carts in the near future... -- "Don't worry about the mule goin' blind, just hold the lines and load the wagon."
 "The Relic" World's Oldest Web Page Discovered Philadelphia PA-- Excited scholars at the University of Penn uncovered what may be the oldest web page ever written. The web page was on a tiny computer, located in an abandoned book storage in Fish Hall. The dusty computer with flashing green cathodes was still functioning. Scholars indicated it may be as ancient as 1978, an entire decade earlier than any previous relic. Web historian Felix Wonderhoven said the find is even more fantastic. The web page appears to be using the ancient computer language FORTRAN. The legendary computer language is said to even pre-date Macrosoft. "Anything before the existence of Macrosoft is controversial, even heretical." said Dr. Wonderhoven. "We only have legends about FORTRAN, this extraordinary find will unlock many mysteries." Dr. Wonderhoven said computer historians really can't answer where computers came from. . "There are some wild legends about a giant computer named UNIVAC that was created right here in Philadelphia in the 1950's. It's said to be the father of all computers. The whole idea is absurd!" he laughed. "People that lived during that time period were still using No. 2 pencils and Big Chief writing tablets." "Common sense tells us computers have always existed in some form. How else could anything have ever gotten done?." he asked. "Does anyone believe that people once actually thought for themselves?" The find should help scholars understand life in the pen and paper era. "The web page eludes to some mysterious unknown entity named "Pong", Probably an ancient God." the brilliant scholar concluded. -- "Don't worry about the mule goin' blind, just hold the lines and load the wagon."

Santa Arrested LW News, Washington...Santa Claus has been arrested! Under the USA Patriot Act after people reported a heavily bearded man seen flying last night around the rooftops of Washington DC suburban neighbourhoods, only three miles from the White House. He is currently being held at an undisclosed maximum security detention centre somewhere in Washington, until his nationality is verified. Unconfirmed reports suggest, he is being charged for several offences, including: flying an unlicensed craft and without a permit in American airspace, promoting religious fanaticism through festival symbolism, mass hysteria, and delinquency of minors. It is believed, he will soon be transferred to Guantanamo Bay for further processing. The United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have also brought charges against Santa Claus. USCBP is charging him for evading the importation tax law, by failing to declare goods allegedly claimed as 'gifts'. USDA has referred to the endangered species act and charged him with illegal trafficking of protected animals (reindeer). To add more woes to his calamities, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and PETA are suing him for cruelty to the reindeer by forcing wingless animals to fly. Isn't it wonderful how the G'ment protects us! Oh yes, Christmas has been postponed indefinitely. HO HO HO! -- "Don't worry about the mule goin' blind, just hold the lines and load the wagon."

Christmas Emergency

Washington; Everyone always said that it was only a matter of time before the United States ran out of electricity. And that time is now upon us. Washington was notified of the emergency just days ago and has been rushing around, forming committees, ever since.
"We're trying to put together committees and sub-committees and super-committees as efficiently as possible. Then we'll talk about this extremely urgent situation for a while, then negotiate some bi-partisan compromise plans, then write a Bill to vote on, and reject. This shouldn't take more than six or eight months, but heck, we might even read this one." said Felix Wonderhoven, Chairman of the New Committee Dealing with the Real Energy Crisis.
Wonderhoven went on to explain that even though the government has been talking about The Energy Crisis for 30 years, this time they really mean it,,, again. He said that the nation has suddenly found itself on the verge of running out of power - due in a large part to the holiday season.
"More and more people are decorating their homes with more and more flashing lights and dancing Santas with their prancing reindeer, and it just turned out to be a little too much this year," he explained.
He also said that Christmas light manufacturers have made the situation worse by making it much too easy to put up lots and lots of lights. "Now we've got nets made of lights for covering shrubs - and those stupid-looking icicle lights - and any lazy guy on the block can light up his whole yard with little or no effort. Then he keeps the lights up year-round."
Wonderhoven refused to comment on the rumors that the President is considering canceling Christmas from now on.
Borin Dufus, Chairman of the Subcommittee to Discuss What We're Going to do Now, also commented on the situation. "We've been informed that, thanks to kids with their battery-powered rocket ships and their parents who light up their houses like Las Vegas, we're pretty much going to run out of power sometime in the next couple of months - and that's only if we can convince the Casinos, Sports Stadiums, and Malls to switch to candlelight until we figure out a backup plan."
He recommended that Americans should limit the use of electricity to when it's "absolutely necessary - like to watch the Thursday night lineup on NBC. But only the new episodes. Not the reruns."
Dufus said that the Subcommittee for Alternate Power is experimenting with various new methods for generating power - since the government refuses to allow expansion of existing proven power sources. But he also admitted that the solution may be too far in the distance.
"Basically," he concluded, "the future of America looks dim."
"Don't worry bout the mule goin' blind, just hold the lines and load the wagon."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas.-- Scientists at Texas A&M University announced today a discovery that may explain why so many Thanksgiving dinners go downhill so fast and end so unpleasantly.
The research team's biologists and chemists determined that yams (Dioscorea species) -- which are often very mistakenly called sweetpotatoes (Ipomoea batatas) -- contain a precursor to truth serum (sodium pentothal). This chemical (sodium quattrothal) reacts with agents in the toasted marshmallows, a sweet confection of a spongy consistency traditionally used as a topping on holiday yam sidedish preparations. In the heat of an oven, the chemicals in each combine to form the complete truth serum molecule.
When consumed in sufficient quantities, a generous second helping is usually enough, the sodium pentothal takes effect. The honest comments then follow. These moments of candidness, lead directly to the sticky messes that followed.
"Every dinner we observed ended when some relative stormed out of the house, after another would be candid about their feelings for the first. This happened consistently when candid yams were served but never, during any of the almost 100 family holiday dinners observed, when sweetpotato casserole was served instead.
A social environmental impact study of cost of candied yam sidedishes (as compared to a baseline of sweetpotato casserole) showed that candid yams have social costs of $6.6 billion per year in the U.S. alone.
The bigger costs, heretofore unmeasured, related to domestic violence (including number of police calls, days in jail and prison, and criminal court costs). The team's legal expert Felix Wonderhoven said the obvious libel and divorce suits were a factor in the candid-yam families.
Earlier family studies research had attributed holiday discord to excess consumption of alcoholic beverages, however, these ethyl-based theories were never fully accepted as they failed to account for the holiday blowups among AA members and conservative Baptists. Candied yams, the A&M team pointed out, do.
The team ask all Thanksgiving cooks to be aware of this study and adjust their meals accordingly.. This has been public service anouncement of LW News... HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!

We pray that You soften the hearts of our leaders and citizens, that people in their own hearts will hunger for You and Your righteousness! Father, we pray You send Your Holy Spirit to make a way where the enemy has brought spiritual blindness and hindrance. We pray that You come with a powerful breakthrough for Your namesake. We ask You Lord to "stop the devil's plan to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10)." We give America back to You, the Lord our God, so that Your will, will be done here as it is in heaven! We ask this of you in Jesus' Christ our Savior's Name. Amen

Bubba
His name was Bubba Bob Butts, he was from East Texas ..... and he needed a loan, so....... he walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an international redneck festival for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest. Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it. Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are a Distinguished Alumni from Rice University, a highly sophisticated investor and Multi-Millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater, Texas . What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The good 'ole boy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?" His name was BUBBA.... Keep an eye on those southern boys
