Might the roosters be guarding the henhouse?

Ah yes, the mixed up world we live in, particularly we baby boomers.  This phrase was written in a letter to the editor of The Daily Progress, a Charlottesville Virginia newspaper (wahoo wah).  The writer was discussing how a natural gas pipeline was going to go through her property and that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approves these 99% of the time.   The malaphor is a mash up of  “the fox guarding the henhouse” (a job assigned to a person who is exploiting it to his own ends) and “the chickens come home to roost” (facing the consequences of one’s own misdeeds).   Thanks to Jack Knoll for sending this one in!
