HAOM - October

Horses_ass_1.jpg
Well, it's that time of the month again, and anytime I think of "that time of the month," our HAOM winner for October comes to mind.  It is always that time of the month for her.
October is the month of witches, ghosts and goblins.  Very appropriate...she is all three.
She is about as calm and rational as the Glenn Close character in "Fatal Attraction," and about as attractive and pleasant to be around as another Glenn Close character first made famous in animated form.  That's why I will always think of her as the Cruella de Ville of blog posters.
A lot of folks think she is a heavy drinker, and that may be true, but give her a break folks. It must be difficult to swallow handfuls of valium without something to wash it down.  I'm sure there are others who enjoy a nice glass (or 16) of chianti for breakfast, too.
So maybe we've all been too hard on her.  After all, she's only human....
Naaaah!
So without further do do, it gives me great displeasure to even suffer the thought of our October HorsesAssoftheMonth for October 2009....

Please be sure to congratulate it on your next encounter, but as always, do not tell it what for.
 
God bless.....

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

 Two Different Versions! ................. Two Different Morals!

OLD 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 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 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 others are 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.'
 Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for 
the grasshopper's sake.
 
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 Green Czar..

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of 
the ants 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: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
 
God bless.....
