Thanks to James for sending me this news story …
A man is walking through 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 devour her right in front the little girl’s screaming parents.
The man runs to the cage, 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 man returns her to her terrified parents.
A reporter has seen the whole scene and says to the rescuer: ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’
‘Why, it was nothing,’ said the man. ‘Really, the lion was behind bars and I knew God would protect me just as He did Daniel in the lion’s den long, long ago. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt was right.
‘I noticed a Bible in your pocket, are you a Republican,’ asked the journalist.
‘Yes, and I’m a Christian on my way to a Bible study,’ the man replies.
‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed… I’m a journalist and tomorrow’s paper will have this on the front page.’
The journalist leaves. The following morning the man buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on first page:
‘Right Wing Republican Christian Fundamentalist Assaults African Immigrant and Steals His Lunch.’

***more libmedia bias appears***
TEDDY NOT “BRAVE”…ITS STANDARD PROCEDURE
CHICAGO - Bravery in the face of cancer? Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has given it new meaning. Few things require as much courage as being wide awake and aware, lying perfectly still for hours, while surgeons methodically slice out bits of your brain.
Kennedy did just that, in an unusual operation Monday at Duke University Medical Center to treat his cancerous brain tumor.
CRAWFISH NOTE: Yet another libmedia attempt to (falsely) praise a strident secular socialist…its common knowledge (and seen on brain surgery videos) for most all patients to be awake. The brain itself feels no pain. Sometimes the surgeon must ask the patient to do certain things to be sure the brain is still operating properly or better.
Also…large pins MUST hold the head “perfectly still” so that part was also an attempt at praise which was not deserved…
it was not Teddy’s discipline or toughness… the surgeons can’t have a patient move while the scapel and probes are in your brain… journalists have so little common sense, its all agenda without research.
As a retired college Biology prof…I have seen such videos of brain tumor operations… even teens are awake.
