Two boys <ST1:p</ST1:p 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. <O:p</O:p
A reporter from the Boston Globe who witnessed the whole incident rushes over to interview the brave boy. <O:p></O:p>
The reporter pulls out his laptop and starts typing. The headline reads: "Brave Young Red Sox Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal." <O:p></O:p>
"But," the boy interjects, "I'm not a Red Sox fan." <O:p></O:p>
Tapping the delete key, the reporter replies, "Sorry, but I saw you playing baseball, and since we're here in Boston<ST1:p</ST1:p, I just figured you had to be." <O:p></O:p>
The reporter's fingers start flying around the keyboard again. The new headline: "John Kerry Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Dog Attack." <O:p></O:p>
"But I'm not a Kerry fan, either," the boy responds. <O:p></O:p>
The reporter, looking dejected, says, "Sorry young tyke. Since you're not a Red Sox fan, I figured you were at least for Kerry." <O:p></O:p>
"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." <O:p></O:p>
Relieved, the reporter finally has his angle for the story: "Arrogant Little Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."<O:p></O:p>
