The Ant and The Grasshopper
2007-05-21 03:19:00 *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! ************ More About: Grass , The A , Shopper , The G

2007-05-12 22:52:00 The site I chose for Saturday's Super Site this week is Badgers Forward. As many of you know, I have found the main stream media far to biased in the wrong direction and completely unworthy of trust. That was one of the main reasons I began reading blogs. Milblogs became my favorite as what better way to gain knowledge about our men and women at war than from them. Badgers Forward has
