Yeah, the small amount of BBC talk shows I watched while in London was refreshing, with respect to treating viewers as adults. But seriously, Paul Weller? Do you dislike The Jam, also? That would be very, very sad!
Brilliant how Karl Rove made sure that Barack would canvas this guy's street so his evil operative could pounce.
You are shocked to find there is gambling going on? Oh by the way, here are your winnings Captain Renault.

JTP is an expert on Middle East affairs!?!?! Cool, you obviously don't need a license to be a pundit.
So let's review: - not named Joe - not a licensed plumber - isn't buying a business - doesn't make $250K and so would actually have his taxes cut under the Obama plan - doesn't know what socialism is - apparently fancies himself an expert on US - Israeli affairs. Why should I give a shit about this guy? He's like my asshole neighbor, only worse.
No wonder he's contemplating running for Congress. He exactly fits the mold of a dream candidate for the GOP right now (see: Palin, Sarah).
While I hate the idea of a second Joe the Plumber thread I do have a thread title nomination. Joe the Plumber II - Droppin' a Deuce
You think you're so tough, Joe The Plumber? Thomas Haden Church = money since he was Lowell the mechanic.
And it continues to get absurd. This is the first time in my life that I'm following politics religiously. I briefly followed it in 2004 and thought George W. was his father somehow running again in 2000 (he can do that?!?!?!). So excuse my ignorance when I ask, are elections always this absurd? The mere fact that there even is a "Joe the Plumber" as the unofficial mascot of the GOP is silly. But even him mulling over running for Congress isn't as crazy as this. But who knows, maybe he'll get enough money to buy the business Obama's tax plan won't raise taxes on. Ahh, the American Dream: Making your fortune from doing the least work possible.
