Two boys in the Bronx were throwing a baseball around when
one was attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly,
the other boy picked up a large stick, wedged it into the
dog's collar and twisted it, snapping the dog's neck.
A reporter from the New York Times who witnessed the whole
incident, rushes over to interview the brave boy.
The reporter pulls out his laptop and starts typing. The
headline reads: "Brave Young Yankee Fan Saves Friend From
Vicious Animal."
"But," the boy interjects, "I'm not a Yankee fan."
Tapping the delete key, the reporter replies, "Sorry, but I
saw you playing baseball, and since we're here in New York, I just
figured you had to be."
The reporter's fingers start flying around the keyboard again.
The new headline: "Hillary Clinton Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Dog Attack."
"But I'm not a Hillary fan, either," the boy responds.
The reporter, looking dejected, say, "Sorry. I figured you were at least for Hillary."
"Well, I'm sorry to say that's not correct," the boy replies, "I'm a Texas Rangers fan and I really like President Bush."
Relieved, the reporter finally has his angle for the story: "Arrogant Little Fascist meanie Kills Beloved Family Pet,"
