Two boys in Boston 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 Boston Globe 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 Red Sox Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal.”
“But,” the boy interjects, “I’m not a Red Sox fan.”
Tapping the delete key, the reporter replies, “Sorry, but I saw you playing baseball, and since we’re here in Boston, I just figured you had to be.”
The reporter’s fingers start flying around the keyboard again. The new headline: “John Kerry Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Dog Attack.”
“But I’m not a Kerry fan, either,” the boy responds.
The reporter, looking dejected, says, “Sorry young tyke. Since you’re not a Red Sox fan, I figured you were at least for Kerry.”
“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 Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet.”
