There once was a man named Joe
Who became the star of the show
His fame was not due to fate
It came during the Presidential debate
He's now known as Joe The Plumber
His story couldn't be dumber
But as the details came out
Joe's story became much in doubt
Turns out that he has no license
It all sounds like crazy nonsense
The city is looking into his boss
His license they may have to toss
There was no real plan
from Joe The Plumber man
To buy the company store
For Joe is much too poor
The 2006 divorce records say
Only $40,000 in pay
If Joe is looking to invest
His capital is shaky at best
And looking at the company books
Tax implications have been mistook
With much less than $250,000 profit
The Obama Tax Plan wouldn't affect it
So you can mark this tall tale
With a big tag that reads FAIL
Facts that some don't want you to know
Of a non-plumber McCain calls Joe

I have been waiting for this post all day! Yay Bob!
Either I'm becoming too predictable, or we need to find you a hobby!
Bob,
This is a terrific post. Normally I don't comment about matters political...
We (the Australian electorate) had similar 'ring ins' during a campaign for a fair day's pay for a fair day's work a couple of years ago. The Howard Federal Gov't trotted out "an employer" whose name escapes me (lets call him Joe Blogs) to push the government line in a TV advertisement. He basically said that he was paying his employees the correct rate. Later, The Unions found out that he was actually paying his casual employees below the Award. It basically means that we shouldn't believe everything we're told. The two things I believe in a newspaper are the price and the date.
Mark.
Ha! Blogs are my hobby right now. ;)
I am going to "write-in" Joe the Plumber for President and write-in Jane Six Pack as his running mate. I don't know who these people are, but they sound real nice.

I'm with Megan......I knew this was a comin'.
I'm tickled. This was so cute, I jacked it and emailed it to my family with a linkie to your bloggie.
Maybe you'll be famous.
Mark... Thanks! Sometimes even the price of the newspaper is wrong when they add the tax!
CSI... Joe and Jane are nice people. Your average family trying to make ends meet, just like the rest of us.
Queenie... OK wise guy, what's my next blog going to be about?
Catscratch... You mean I'm not already famous?
I've decided not to write anything of note because once you comment you're finished and move on to the next post with out commenting again and I'm not prepared to be ignored. However, I will say this about that, the comments rock, as always!!! And poor Joe Plumber. He's getting his unlicensed assed kick. That's gotta hurt.
Okay, gotta go. Laundry to do and the smell of death to eliminate from this damn house. I was sauteing celery and onions for cream of celery soup and burned the hell of of them while outside watering the gardens. Bob, I need an assistant.
Till next time, partner!

I'll almost always respond for my Blottie's...

Hi baby. I'm laughing my ass off. That's just too funny. Where the hell's RC?
I wrote something on my blog I think you'll find interesting. Follow the path of least resistance. Probably Cece's! Love you dear and thanks.
XO
