…..and there probably is an American flag on the side of the altar.

Should have been titled “The Ant and the Cockroach.”

How dare Corey Stewart bring up the issue of abortion as we struggle to get enough housing for the too many people that weren’t aborted in the first place.

Abortion is a means for a woman to protect herself from having to struggle within an economic climate that Stewart and Bush help create that makes it a financial burden to raise a child.

Choice is not aborting a child, it’s simply getting rid of an unconventional piece of biology that if allowed to be born will simply place more burdens on society and expand the need even more for social justice.

Republicans like Corey Stewart are really the devil. They want more children to be born so that they can indoctrinate them with all those crap conservative moral values they brainwash their own children with - like thinking God is worthy of worship.

I am a firm supporter of abortion, and aborted a child myself. It was quite easy for me because I saw it more as an duty than a choice. In the name of social justice I think abortion is a righteous tool and a duty if you really want whats best for the collective union of all of us progressives.

The Ant and the Grasshopper, 2008 edition

With what looks like imminent passage of the Mother of All Bailouts (following on the heels of a year’s worth of government-funded rescues of private homeowners, lenders, insurers, and the automakers), Washington has turned Aesop’s famous fable about prudence and hard work on its head. The time is ripe for a revised 2008 edition of “The Ant and the Grasshopper:”

In a meadow on a hot summer’s day, a Grasshopper was chirping and carousing his time away. He watched scornfully as an Ant nearby struggled to store up large kernels of food and build a secure nest. The Ant pulled overtime shifts to pay off his loans and accumulate retirement funds for the future.

“Give it a rest,” the Grasshopper said. “Why bother saving and slaving and toiling and moiling? Let’s party!” The Ant demurred: “I am planning ahead for winter and you should do the same.” The Grasshopper blew off the Ant, squandered his supplies the rest of the season, and abandoned his home while on vacation (paid for by tapping every last cent of his home equity gain) instead of holding down a job.

When winter came, the Grasshopper’s pantry was empty and his shelter ruined from neglect. The Ant, weary from planting, harvesting, and stocking up for months, was dining comfortably in his nest.

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.

Funded with tax dollars from the rest of the meadow’s residents, ACWIRN organized mass protests at the Bank of Antamerica, ambushed its top officials at their private homes, harassed their children, and demanded that the meadow’s politicians halt all foreclosures (”We must keep Grasshoppers in their houses!”) and outlaw discriminatory lending practices against starving, homeless Grasshoppers (”Well-stocked shelters are basic insect rights!”)

The banking industry capitulated; the Orthoptera Lobby secured hundreds of millions of dollars in housing earmarks and grants and counseling subsidies to support the Grasshoppers with the shadiest credit and employment histories. Antie Mae, the meadow’s government-backed home lending giant, fueled the push for increased insect homeownership in the name of biodiversity. Its executives cooked the books and headed for the hills. Katie Cricket and the Mainstream Meadow Media joined the grievance-for-profit circus, profiling Grasshopper sob stories and drumming up ratings as bewildered Ants wondered who was looking out for them.

The banks drowned in toxic debt. More Grasshoppers fell behind on their mortgage payments. Bailout mania and panic gripped the meadow.

Our little Ant, minding his own business, heard a knock on his door one late winter night a year later. It was his old, sneering Grasshopper neighbor. With ACWIRN’s presidential candidate, Barack Cicada, now in office, the Grasshopper had been hired by the meadow as a tax collector.

“I’m here to take your provisions,” the Grasshopper cackled.

But it was the Ant who had the last laugh. “I’ve learned my lesson,” he told his shiftless friend. “Why bother saving and slaving and toiling and moiling? I’ve spent all my savings. I’m walking away from my mortgage. Thrift is for suckers,” the Ant said as he headed out the door, leaving the Grasshopper empty-handed.

Perhaps the owner of 9500 Liberty would be willing to “donate” the property for the “cause.”

Probably a relative. Understand from a realtor friend of mine that the multiple contract and the outbidding of the last potential buyer scheme is alive and well. Some houses have up to ten contracts on them and people are being outbidded. Isn’t this part of the cause of the “bubble burst? Is there still no regulation or oversight in the mortgage business?

Let us know when they start the free dental care. My family and I will be the first in line! Maybe I should withold my Sunday (2) collections from Fr. Bob and make a dental appointment or two???

You are much funnier - keep us laughing - we need it!

Set aside the public landfill off Rt. 234, once it’s full, for leftist subsidized affordable housing.

I can see the complaints flowing into Marty Nohe’s office once that occurs, methane explosions from liberal freeloaders lighting a joint while sitting on the toilet - taking the county and Corey Stewart to court because of burnt hemorrhoids caused by sitting and waiting for their number to be called on a weekly basis at the unemployment office.

How is it possible that it took this group THREE YEARS to come up with these brilliant ideas?
