Poor Henny Penny.

Here's a really important question for ya. If Henny Penny were alive today, what would she be worried about? Do ya think she'd be worried about all those truckloads of illegal aliens coming across the border to have their babies? Or maybe President Obama's birth certificate? How about all those SuperPACs, are they receiving enough donations? Are there enough negative ads being aired? What do you think is the number one concern for Henny? Maybe she thinks there aren't sufficient laws on voter registration or maybe there should be more proof of eligibility required to vote. Is a Mormon a Christian? Can women use contraception? How about men? I'll bet she's worried about spending too much money on Education and the lack of tax breaks for the wealthy. She must be worried about welfare fraud and all those on food stamps who are buying soda and candy, and driving Cadillacs. I wonder if she worries about whether or not Osama BinLaden is comfortable? Maybe there's too many women in the workplace and not enough stay at home moms? Especially single moms. Do kids spend too much time in school or do they get too much homework? These are weighty subjects for such a fine, well bred, young chicken to have to contend with. Perhaps she worries that congress doesn't pay attention to these over-reaching questions. And, is congress in danger of losing it's insider trading advantage? Henny Penny will lose some sleep over that one, I'm sure. But what about ethics rules? Will congress be held to a higher standard? What about the Supreme Court. Will they be forced to adopt a standard of ethics? And what of Wall Street and the banking industry? Will they be required to stop betting against their customers? Next poor Henny will be asked to worry about the fact that the wealthiest among us are shrinking in numbers while the poorest among us are growing in numbers, and the unfairness of that. It's enough to keep me up at night. Well that and some of my favorite TV shows.
