<p>A Harley rider is passing the zoo, when  he sees a little girl leaning into the lion&#8217;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.  </p>
<p>The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event.  The reporter says, &#8216;Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life..&#8217; </p>
<p>The biker replies, &#8216;Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars.  I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.&#8217;  The reporter says, &#8216;Well, I&#8217;m a journalist from the New York Times, and tomorrow&#8217;s paper will have this story on the front page&#8230;  So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?&#8217; </p>
<p>The biker replies, &#8216;I&#8217;m a U..S. Marine and a Republican.&#8217; </p>
<p>The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page: </p>
<p><strong>U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH</strong></p>

<p>It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their New Chief if  the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian chief in a  modern society, he couldn&#8217;t tell what the weather was going to be. </p>
<p>Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going  to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be  prepared. </p>
<p>But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. </p>
<p>He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked &#8220;Is the  coming winter going to be cold?&#8221; &#8220;It looks like this winter is going to be quite  cold indeed,&#8221; the meteorologist at the weather service responded.</p>
<p>So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood. </p>
<p>A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. &#8220;Is it Going to be a  very cold winter?&#8221; &#8220;Yes,&#8221; the man at National Weather Service again replied,  &#8220;It&#8217;s definitely going to be a very cold winter. &#8221; </p>
<p>The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of  wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service  again. &#8220;Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Absolutely&#8221;, the man replied. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be one of the coldest winters ever. &#8221; &#8220;How can  you be so sure?&#8221; the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, &#8220;The Red Indians are  collecting wood like Crazy.&#8221; </p>
<p>This is how stock market works!!!</p>

<p>We forget that Congress is more responsible for what happens, rather than the president.</p>
<p>A little over one year ago:</p>
<ol>
<li>Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;</li>
<li>Regular gasoline sold for  $2.19  a  gallon;</li>
<li>The unemployment rate was 4.5%.</li>
</ol>
<p>THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR A CHANGE<br />
(They elected a majority of Democrats to Congress)<br />
AND THEY GOT IT:</p>
<ol>
<li>Consumer confidence plummet;</li>
<li>The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;</li>
<li>Unemployment is up to 5%;</li>
<li>American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);</li>
<li>Americans have had their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;</li>
<li>1% of American homes are in foreclosure.</li>
</ol>
<p>The most significant accomplishment by the Democrat controlled Congress in 2007:<br />
<strong>THEY VOTED TO INCREASE THEIR PAY!</strong></p>
