I am Jon … none of this is national is it?

UPDATE: Joe doesn’t even have a plumber’s license.
(okay, I’m embarrassed ’cause I spelled ‘plumber’ like this in the first published version: ‘plummer’. What really gets me is that I actually do know how to spell plumber! Could this be old age creeping in? I am counting exact change at the checkout counters… red in the face here folks!)
I’ll betcha Joe the plumber has never made close to $100k annually in his life. This is a typical fantasy made up by a McCain/Palin/Bush supporter. I was very impressed by Obama’s patience when speaking with this idiot. He demonstrated the patience of Job, which should impress many of the religulous nutballs in our society – if only they could think for themselves…
Well, I don’t want to lump all people of faith together in a ball like that so close to the holiday feasts. I know lots of folks personally who are devoted to their churches, conservative in much of their thinking, who think McCain is a liar and Palin is just plain stupid.
They will, of course, be voting Obama.
Joe Schmoe isn’t even paying the taxes he already owes!
