One for Jim Thompson....
 
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 cuff of
her
jacket and tries to pull her inside to eat 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 her 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 brave 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

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

Hi Jim,

I am in Australia but watch this group.
I saw this on aus.jokes and I straight away thought of you.

We have the problem of the Federal Labor Party in
power in Aust at the moment, and feeling as much
disgust as many Americans feel toward the Democrats.

Best Regards

My colleague from Johannesburg carefully noted the position of his
erstwhile abode.

Look for Sloman's dump, then tell me. The area was normal, till that
ass moved in.

This kind of stuff is how the big lie is sold, by many extremists, left, right, religious and other.
