If the Logan Act were actually enforced, Jesse Jackson would have spent the last 20 years in an orange jumpsuit.

They've been one march short of a comprehensive peace plan for a while now.

And, somewhat tangentially, isn't Bill O'Reilly from Boston? Because the credible source of my father told me that much of the IRA's funding came from Boston pubs, and Bill O has always made a big deal about being 'Irish American'. And he always mentions the Irish bit first. And he always goes on about being Catholic... Is he a Nationalist? Would that make him therefore linked to terrorism, and therefore FOX, and therefore John McCain?
John McCain is palling around with Irish Terrorists?!

Last night Jon Stewart really lambasted the media for even buying into this Joe the Plumber bullshit. One of those moron pundits (I forget the name...does it matter?) brought on air for an interview about domestic and foreign policies, "Tito the Builder." You can't make this shit up.
And now apparently Joe the Plumber is upset that he missed a McCain rally due to miscommunication([politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com]
). Shut up, Samuel, you are a nobody that was made a pseudo-somebody by a desperate old man.

Write another post about fat people and get everyone pissed off again. That was fun.

And what if an Hispanic plumber with no plumbing license, no driver's license, and (wait for it) no greencard had asked the same question?
So, now he's "uneducated" simply b/c he's blue collar. And, ha-ha, he also dreams of becoming a country star He comes across as pretty authentic to me, if even the mention of his name by McCain makes me cringe.
What an odd campaign for the media. Ask the Messiah a question and you get smeared.

I see your points about Joe's income...fair enough all around. Conservatives and liberals really do come at this issue from different angles, though.
The worst is all the tax you pay in NYC. It never used to bother me that much, but now I fantasize about buying a house...

You will have a house soon. Just keep saving and plodding. Unfortunately for current homeowners, the prices are coming down.

Also Obama answered his question fully (I saw the full exchange) and Mr. Joe seemed to have his mind made up: pimp the exposure for everything it's worth.
Besides, who needs plumbing when there's a shot at Survivor in his future?
The problem that I have with Mr. Joe is that McPalin are using him as an end all expert on everything to appeal to a segment of American who find facts and historical context something to be skeered of and that's shameful.
McPalin should be championing Americans to be as informed, engaged and knowledgeable as possible as issues instead of just Obama's so-called associations.
And that's why I hope they lose next Tuesday and Mr. Joe does get his book/reality show/album deal. It is what he's meant to be doing.
Don't you know he's a supastah?

Initially I felt bad for Joe the Plumber. Then I started watching him exploit himself the way McCain did. It seemed a little too hmm...I dunno, planted. It all seems too planted. For me, he is a willfully uneducated individual who perpetuates outright lies. Mostly, he's yet another fear mongerer. I believe people should strive to be smarter than to fall for that, though sometimes it's impossible. I have no more patience for lazy thinkers who form their opinions without checking facts, or even considering there may be more to examine.
Sarcastro, I heart you. But I fear you may have fallen victim to my evil twin llama. He's such a slut!

(Though I do tend to agree. Literature? What's she going to do w/that degree? Not that it's not a fine degree, just a rather random choice)
