Say it ain`t so, Joe.

Joe the Plumber. National press conference. Am I missing something here? What`s next? Sarah Palin spinning the wheel on The Price Is Right and aquealing over her new gas grill? I`m digging around the sofa cushions looking for spare change while mainstream media...The Last Word In Sunday Talk...wastes time on Joe the Plumber? If this isn`t a Roto Rooter moment, I don`t know what is.

There is some real honest-to-goodness pain in my state. Sky-high cordwood, sky-high tuition payments, sky-high pork chops, sky-high light bills, sky-high everything. Older folks are selling their homes, giving up their last days of independence, just to stay afloat. Everything is for sale: snowmobiles, boats, trucks, cars, horses, motorcycles,log splitters, lawnmowers. It ain`t pretty and it ain`t easy.

Haven`t Bush supporters like Joe had enough? Aren`t they gagging by now? Aren`t they on their knees sobbing over all the death and maiming in Iraq and Afghanistan? Don`t they wonder what happened to all the stuff we used to manufacture? Aren`t they sad about our homeless children? The veterans with life-changing nightmares? The former home owners now bankrupt because of Cancer or a job shipped to India?

Mainstream media, with very few exceptions, shouldn`t be allowed to interview anybody, not one more person until they do some soul-searching. Why in the hell would the media spend a single minute on this Joe guy when they`re unwilling to interview even one family living in their car? I`m truly fed up.

1. Had more than enough of Joe already

Thanks for waking me from the daze and bringing my thoughts back to what is really important.

No More Joe(s)! Unless we're talking Joe Biden of course!!!
