Two boys in Boston were playing baseball when one of them was attacked by a vicious Rottweiler. The dog knocked him over, locked his jaws on the boy's leg, then shook its head back and forth violently, spraying blood all over.

Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off of a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.

A newspaper reporter from the Boston Globe witnessed the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into his laptop, beginning with the headline, "Brave Boston Red Sox Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."

"But I'm not a Boston Red Sox fan," the little hero interjected.

"Oh, sorry" replied the reporter. "Since we're in Boston, I just assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began again, "John Kerry Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."

"But I'm not a John Kerry fan either," the boy protested.

The reporter replied, "Oops. I just assumed everybody in this state was either for the Red Sox, John Kerry, or Ted Kennedy. Who do you like?''

"Well, I'm a Texas Rangers fan, and I really like President Bush," the boy answered.

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began yet again: "Arrogant Little Republican Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."
