THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
CLASSIC 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
he's 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 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 grasshopper thinks he's 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 others are cold
and starving.
CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN 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."
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
grasshopper's sake.
Tom Daschle & Walter Mondale exclaim in an interview
with Peter Jennings 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 and
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.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the
grasshopper 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 grasshopper 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 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 once peaceful
neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Republican
