From New Jersey, this breaking news bulletin:

In Jefferson, snake bites the hand that tries to save it

Stephen Sodones spotted it along the edge of Route 23 in Jefferson, a snake just starting its precarious slide to the other side of the highway.

So the 62-year-old animal lover picked it up, hoping to carry it to safety. But in doing so, Sodones quickly learned one of nature's more important facts: Snakes bite.

What bit Sodones three times on the arm Monday night was a copperhead, which can grow to 4 feet and have fangs like hypodermic needles. No one is quite sure how big this one was.

So remember, kiddies, if you extend the hand of friendship to poisonous snakes or liberals (which is an oxymoron when it follows poisonous snakes), expect to get bit!
