Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: A Political Fable

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning. As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores. As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunches and carry them to the mine.

One day as she arrived at the mine with lunch, she saw that there had been a terrible cave-in. Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.

Hello!....Hello! she shouted. Can anyone hear me? Hello!

For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow White again shouted, Hello! Is anyone down there? Just as she was about to give up all hope, she heard a faint voice from deep within the mine, singing Vote for Barack Obama! Vote for Barack Obama!

Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed, Thank you, God! At least Dopey is still alive...
