The Myth of Joe the Plumber

[dorothy_parka]

During last night's debate, Presidential candidate John McCain continually referred to someone named "Joe the Plumber." He tried to indicate that Joe was a real guy with a real problem--he was ready to start a business and Obama's tax plan would not allow that to happen

You're rich in cat dander. This was beautifully, concisely written, just snarky enough and no snarkier -- a rare feat on the Internet! Also, enjoy this image from Angry Asian Man, who asks, "Is it just me, or is McCain losing it? Not just the election, I mean. It. He's losing it."

McCain looked particularly bad last night--sallow, and like he was a taxidermied body with an animatronic head.

but srsly, we should have all been plumbers. My 6th grade classmate's mother was right! She told him "Don't bother trying for Bronx Science. You're going to trade school to study plumbing."
