I got this piece of shit this morning:
Once upon a time, on a farm in Virginia, there was a little red hen who
scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of
wheat. She called all of her neighbors together and said, 'If we
plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant
it?'
=0
A'Not I,' said the cow.
'Not I,' said the duck.
'Not I,' said the pig.
'Not I,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she did.
The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.
'Who will help me reap my wheat?' asked the little red hen.
'Not I,' said the duck.
'Out of my classification,' said the pig.
'I'd lose my seniority,' said the cow.
'I'd lose my unemployment compensation,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she
did.
At last it came time to bake the bread. 'Who will h elp me bake the
bread?' asked the little red hen.
'That would be overtime for me,' said the cow.
'I'd lose my welfare benefits,' said the duck.
'I'm a dropout and never learned how,' said the pig.
'If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen. She baked
five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They
wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen
said, 'No, I shall eat all five loaves.'
'Excess profits!' cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
'Capitalist leech!' screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
'I demand equal rights!' yelled the goose. (Jesse J
ackson)
The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)
And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and
around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, 'You
must not be so greedy.'
'But I worked hard and earned the bread,' said the little red hen.
'Exactly,' said Barack the farmer. 'That is what makes our free
enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as
much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the
productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who
are lazy and idle.'
And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen,
who smiled and clucked, 'I am grateful, for now I truly understand.'
But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again
baked bread because she joined the 'party' and got her bread free. And
all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual
initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared... so
long as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying for.
To which I replied to all:
Good gawd what kind of mindless idiot wrote this piece of rot? I guess they haven't been paying attention to what's been going on the last 8 years. The "bread" is getting gobbled up by the big corporate fat cat executives at the top of the food chain who are getting paid mega millions for "management solutions" that are no more creative than shutting down plants and shipping them overseas...and then they fail anyway, and get paid handsomely for failing.
In the meantime, the rest of us "hens" that do actual work and produce something for a living are barely clinging to what's left of our jobs and the crumbs we get from the bread we produce are getting skimpier and skimpier.
Sorry, but I just can't find any humor in such blatant BS. I'm sure the original writer thought it was very clever, pity he had his head in his ass, if he'd pull it out for a minute, he might actually be able to see whats going on for a change.
