Harley Biker

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a

little girl leaning into the lion's cage.

Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to

pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming

parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion

square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl,

and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him

endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most

gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really.  The lion was

behind bars.

I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed.  I'm

a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on

the front page.  So, what do you do for a living, and what political

affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, and a Republican".

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed

brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

...... and THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
