Another one for the libs

[Blurred Elevens]

News anchor Dan Rather, The Reverend Jesse Jackson, NPR reporter Cokie
Roberts, and an American Marine were hiking through the jungle one day
when they were captured by cannibals.

They were tied up, led to the village and brought before the chief.
The chief said, "I am familiar with your Western custom of granting the
condemned a last wish. Before we kill and eat you, do you have any last
requests?"

Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowlful of
hot, spicy chili." The chief nodded to an underling, who left and
returned with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, "Now I can die
content."

Jesse Jackson said, "You know, the thing in this life I am proudest of
is my work on behalf of the poor and oppressed. So before I go, I want
to sing "We Shall Overcome" one last time." The chief said, "Go right
ahead, we're listening." Jackson sang the song, and then said, "Now I
can die in peace."

Cokie Roberts said, "I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my
tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen.
Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job until
the end."

The chief directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder, and Roberts
dictated some comments. She then said, "Now I can die happy."

The chief turned and said, "And now, Mr. Marine, what is your final
wish?"

"Kick me in the ass," said the Marine.

"What?" said the chief. "Will you mock us in your last hour?"

"No, I'm not kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass," insisted the
Marine.

So the chief shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass. The
Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol
from his waistband, and shot the chief dead. In the resulting confusion,
he leapt to his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine, and sprayed the
cannibals with gunfire. In a flash, the cannibals were dead or fleeing
for their lives.

As the Marine was untying the others, they asked him, "Why didn't you
just shoot them? Why did you ask them to kick you in the ass?"

"What!?" said the Marine, "And have you friggen assholes call ME the
aggressor"??!!

Remind you of this place??? -Blurred

Okay.

I chuckled.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and that is all),
