A biker is riding by the zoo 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 slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, 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 NYT reporter has seen the whole scene and, addressing the biker, says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my w hole life.”
“Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”
“Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist from the New York Times, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride and what political affiliation do you have?”
“A Harley Davidson and I am a Republican.”
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads on the first page:
REPUBLICAN BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
When a democrat gets caught with his pants down in trouble you know it is a democrat because the political party affliation is barely mentioned, if at all, in the entire article. If the philanderer is a republican its usually screaming at you from the headline, in the first paragraph and again at the close.
Other than that, the article is a more than a little bizzare and we learn more than we probably needed to know. LOL
First:
He is 46, 11 years her junior. In today's culture you might expect that she and/or he is a "babe" ... not so... lookee

Second:
They've been married for 5 years but she still uses her first husband's last name. Also, he isn't just a lib, he is a foolhardy, rabid lib ...."Athans, co-founder of the liberal TalkUSA Radio network, apologized in a statement issued by his attorney -snip- He started TalkUSA Radio in 2006 after leading programming at Air America, the liberal network that declared bankruptcy that year."
Third:
I'll betcha he would have paid good money to keep the timeline from being published. LOL .... "Troy police set up a stakeout at the Residence Inn after learning of suspected prostitution at a room there Feb. 25, the police report said. Officers said they saw Athans enter the room Feb. 26 and leave 15 minutes later. -snip- The report said Athans told the officers "that he had just met a female at the Residence Inn, where he paid $150 for sex." It said the woman performed oral sex on Athans."
Lastly:
If he isn't lying about how much he paid for his 15 minutes then at least ole "Speedy" Athans appears to be a decent tipper LOL.... "Athans told police he responded to an ad on CraigsList. The police report included an ad for "Kasey," who was later identified as Alycia Martin, which said she was looking for "a nice gentlemen that love's the company of a real lady."She listed her rates as $100 for 15 minutes, $160 for half an hour and $225 for an hour. -snip-"
The article says, " the police did not bring any sex charges against Athans but later mailed him a ticket for driving with a suspended license.". Whatcha wanna bet the prostitute wasn';t so lucky?
