BIG, BAD WOLF TO ADDRESS CONGRESS

(Washington DC  Piggly Wiggly Flyer  November 17, 2015)

One of our culture’s most relentless fear mongers will speak before the House and Senate tomorrow on the subject of preparedness. The Wolf, recognized for his dubious pursuit of a meal, is trying to present a kinder face in light of a possible Presidential bid in 2016.

The speech is expected to center on terrorism and the role of elected leaders in thwarting future incidents. The Congress, according to critics, is a body most likely to sit on its thumbs in the event of an attack. This is because they have not been educated, says the Wolf.

Saying that the Congress was not technically pig-headed, but rather self-absorbed in doing for themselves and their cronies.

“If you spent the whole day lining your pockets by evening you’d be too tired to do much else, like conducting the business of the American people who elected you,” jabbed the Wolf.

“Preparedness is everything. Never mind comprehending the failed policies that created the conflict. This is war!”
The Wolf is expected to avoid the controversial subject of houses made from straw, sticks and bricks for fear of upsetting the recovering construction industry.
Meanwhile, outside the Capitol crowds of angry Little Pigs gather to protest the Wolf’s presence in a free society.
