Fall from Power
« on: December 23, 2008, 02:57:20 PM »
In light of what we have seen the past few weeks with Bernard Madoffs Ponzi scheme, Governor Blagojevich of Illinois and other high powered executives crashing from their ivory towers I thought the following would be appropriate to share...

One day a turkey was having a  conversation with bull in a local farm pasture.

"You see that row of trees over thereby the fenceline?" asked the turkey of the bull. "Man would I love to get up there and see more of the world but I just don't have the strength.

The bull looked behind himself and then back at the turkey.

"Well I have an idea. My poop is chock full of nutrients. Maybe if you eat some of it you can get the strength you need."

The turkey thought for a second then walked over nibbled a bit of the poop and found himself feeling energized enough to fly up to the first layer of branches.

For one full week the turkeys nasty dietary needs were filled until several days later he was able to effortlessley fly and land at the very top of the tallest tree along the fence line.

"Wow", thought the turkey. All I had to do is eat some of that bulls poop and here I am king of all I survey!!

And with that............BLAM!!!!! One well placed shot from the farm owner blew the turkey out of the tree.

The moral of the story?? Bull-sh*t may get you to the top........but it damn sure won't keep you there!!!!!!


Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.
