Twice-Told Tales
Michelle Malkin has expertly rewritten one of Aesop’s fables – The Ant and the Grasshopper. My favorite part:
Cold, hungry, jobless, facing foreclosure, and up to his two pairs of
eyeballs in debt, the Grasshopper limped to the Association of
Community Winged Insects for Rescue Now and demanded recourse. The
office was swamped with thousands just like him. ACWIRN immediately put
the Grasshopper to work registering dead ants as new voters.
Although I would have used “registering dead grasshoppers” instead of “registering dead ants.” But who am I to rewrite a syndicated columnist?
Perhaps the recently registered dead ants, in a surprise move, are going to vote for the grasshoppers’ preferred candidate. That way the grasshoppers can show how the ants are all moving towards the grasshoppers’ positions on things.
“Now that I’m dead, I see your point of view.”
Not flattering to the grasshoppers.
