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

When people find out we are going gluten-free, they feel sorry for us because 'what in the world will we be able to eat! As you can see from the picture, good food is not a problem in my kitchen. The only change in my usual preparation is using rice noodles instead of wheat pasta. And, much to our delight, we have discovered we prefer the rice noodles.
