Wicked awesome!


Two boys in Boston were playing baseball when one was attacked by a rabid
Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off 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 Young Red Sox Fan Saves Friend
from Jaws Of Vicious Animal"

"But I'm not a Red Sox fan," the little hero interjected. "Sorry" replied
the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began: "John Kerry Fan Rescues Friend
from Horrific Dog attack"

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

The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Red
Sox or Kerry or Kennedy. What team or person do you like? "

"I'm a Texas Ranger fan and I really like George W. Bush" the boy says.

Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again: "Arrogant Little

1. Since it didn't happen, can we drop the story, which is amusing,
but will be taken as truth by Rush listeners?

5. Please lighten up and find your sense of humor! It's
not fact, it's amusing.

6. My sense of humor works fine. Jokes go in the Lounge?
And I don't see the point of helping propagate the myth of the 'liberal media' twisting things to bash conservatives when the truth is the opposite.

Why do Limbaugh's work for him and use DU bandwidth to do it?

I don't need to 'lighten up' and my sense of humor works fine, thank you. It also does not over rule my COMMON SENSE.

You wanna borrow some of the latter? Or still do Rush's leg work for him?

15. This joke has been around for quite some time
In fact, I think I originally got it by email from my dad who couldn't be more like Rush if Rush inhabited his body. It's a joke and even the Repukes know it's a joke.

What's with all the people afraid of being silly because some right wing psycho might hear about it? I stay young by having a good sense of humor, even in the rough times.

They hate the press unless they own it.

7. EXACTLY! Jokes are better in the Lounge
and republican jokes propagating the myth that the media is liberal probably belong on a different site.

10. Yeah, more jokes like this
JUST WHEN WE THINK THE WORST THREAT WE FACE IS THE AVIAN FLU,

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior.

The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced "gonna re-elect him."

Many victims contracted it in 2004, after having been screwed for the past four years. Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected include: anti-social personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with messianic overtones, extreme cognitive dissonance, inability to incorporate new information, pronounced xenophobia and paranoia, inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all-or-nothing behavior.

Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease originated only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas.

9. I expect my mailbox will be filled with versions of this
from right-wing acquaintances.

Sigh.

12. The Boston Globe? This doesn't make sense, does it?
I thought the Globe gave Kerry a hard time in his own home town.

Republican jokes are hardly ever funny, are they?

13. Here, I fixed it
Two boys in Texas were playing baseball when one was attacked by a rabid
Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off a nearby
fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's
neck.

A newspaper reporter from the Washington Times witnessed the incident and rushed
over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into his
laptop, beginning with the headline: "Brave Young Texas Ranger Fan Saves Friend
from Jaws Of Vicious Animal"

"But I'm not a Texas Ranger fan," the little hero interjected. "Sorry" replied
the reporter. "But since we're in Texas, I just assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began: "George W Bush Fan Rescues Friend
from Horrific Dog attack"

"But I'm not a Bush fan either," the boy responds.

The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Texas Ranger or Bush or Delay. What team or person do you like? "

"I'm a Red Sox Fan and I really like John Kerry" the boy says.
