Joe The Plumber
by Sean Palma
Joe its very apparent that you’ve struck a nerve with a good amount of the population. Regardless of whether or not you turn out to be a well connected GOP plant, you’re still going to be pretty popular with at least 15% of Americans. Sure, you might be a kind of Kato Kaelin like wannabe celebrity who says he wants to go back to his normal life but continues to do interviews and walk around his neighboorhood while camera crews are outside.
My advice is to work your popularity into a contract deal with a national plumbing company. I can already hear the marketing radio jingle.
“When you need a toilet snake, to clear out some poo, who you gonna call? JOE THE PLUMBER!”
“When the toilets clogged because you had Mexican food, who you gonna call? JOE THE PLUMBER!”
“Sinks backed up, toilet’s full, toilet’s full, toilet’s full, what’s that smell – Sinks backed up, toilet’s full, toilet’s full, toilet’s full, MAN That’s Clogged Up – Call the man who clears it out, all the poop, all the hair, dead hamsters, goldfish, cause he doesn’t CARE. Who you gonna call? JOE THE PLUMBER!”
Isn’t that the real American Dream? Become famous even if it’s just for a little while and use it to rake in fame and fortune?

Joe the plumber you show do know your shit….
The real American dream is to work hard make something of yourself and keep most of you hard earned money. Not this BS of spreading the wealth around –as Bracka Hussein Obama would like. We live in a capitalist society–and Socialism– can take a hike–and oh yea Obama you can take a hike to
I beg to differ when people slam auto workers for being “grossly”over paid. The last plumber I hired charged $75 per hour and he didn’t have to deal with the dirty end of the job. Just a small tearout and a little rough plumbing requiring 4 feet of PVC and two compression fittings. After getting the bill I decided I would learn plumbing. And for those of you who don’t like the price of a new car just build your own and pay yourself. Now thats capitalism! On the other hand you can buy a Jap car made here instead. But be forewarned, if the Big 3 go out of business the Japs will have a monopoly and charge the buyer whatever they want. Your only other option will be to buy Euro cars priced in Euros with your depreciated greenbacks.
Better not throw your wheel barrow out because you will need it to haul the devalued dollars. Its funny, one of the major industries that built this country, was a major component in winning WW II, and provided the middle class boom of the 50-70s, is now being kicked to the side of the road. Maybe they and the unions deserve this. Seeing the CEOs with their hands out for money and the UAW telling the committee it would be a mistake not to bail them out doesn’t sit well with me. Only because the companies and the union haven’t taken the time to sit down and try to resolve the issue themselves. If it is just a matter of cashflow, who has the greatest control of that? The companies and the UAW. Charity begins at home and it should begin with them first before running to Congress. And this is from a UAW retiree. Surprise, surprise! I also believe Wall Street should not be bailed out. What’s good for one is good for all, but it sure as hell won’t feel good. Where’s Lee Ioccoca and Dr. Deming when you need them?
