Boy Wins Fight with Dog in Boston
Two boys in Boston were playing basketball when one of
them was attacked by a ferocious 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 Herald witnessed
the incident and rushed over to interview the boy.
The reporter began entering data into his laptop,
beginning with the headline: "Brave Young Celtics Fan
Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."
"But I'm not a Celtics 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 begins again, "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 Celtics or Kerry or Kennedy. What team or
person do you support?"
"I'm a Houston Rockets fan and I really like George W.
Bush" the boy says.
Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again:
"Arrogant Little Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."

That's good but change it to the Boston Globe and it's more accurate
The Herald is owned by Newscorp, thus making it a Rupert Murdoch rag and VERY conservative in it's editorial slant

You make that sound like that's a bad thing.
