Feeling irritable
This stupid joke is from my Aunt the Republican, who am I supposed to forward it to?? Anybody got a snappy reply? all I could think of was:

Then there is the thinking reporter who would wonder how the kid managed to wedge a fence board into a vicious dog's collar without getting bitten instead of just wacking the dog on the head. Of course a reporter that could think and ask real questions would probably not have a job in this day and age. Bleh

Two boys in Boston were playing basketball when one of them wa 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 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."

Not sure if this is exactly the right place, or if I could actually just go start a new thread yet, but I just got this irritating e-mail and want to reply soon to a bunch of smug ... nevermind, I just want the "bush version" facts if somebody has something. Here is the message:

Subject: Fw: The President Knew!
...
g.. BUT...the president under whom all this happened WASN'T George W. Bush.
SURPRISE . It was Bill Clinton!!!!!!!!!!!
