Joe The Plumber


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(He) Missed the entire debate last night.

He was walking Molly until she did her... er... "business".

SeevyCat


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is he related to Joe Sixpack?


Scaggsville


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is Molly? And why was Joe plumbing her?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Molly is the Angie's List papillon who wasn't told that Joe was the only plumber her master would ever "have".

I think they locked her out of the bedroom while they "watched the debates", until she had to go so bad she was howling.

Angie's List


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Unified Neighbors)

Angie's List is one of many companies which aggregate consumer reviews of local service companies and which have been described by the New York Times as "a glorified version of Yellow Page listings."<4> Angie's List is unique, however, in that it charges consumers to see reviews,<5> reflecting their belief that charging consumers "adds credibility to the information."<4> Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, the company was founded by Bill Oesterle while Angie Hicks worked as in intern in 1995. The company modeled the list after Indianapolis' Unified Neighbors. As part of its public relations strategy, the company tells the story that Angie Hicks, who earned an MBA in 2000, went door-to-door in Columbus, Ohio signing up members and collecting ratings on local contractors.<3> In 1996, Angie's List purchased Unified Neighbors and relocated the company from Columbus to Indianapolis. ... ....
Legal Controversy

According to the Washington Post, some Angie's List members who have submitted negative reviews about contractors to Angie's List have found themselves sued for defamation by the contractor for millions of dollars in damages. Although Angie's List may have insulated itself from such claims, it does recognize the threat to its business model. One of the Angie's List members being sued put it this way, "If able to sue, then the value of Angie's List depreciates... People aren't going to be willing to submit reviews if they could be threatened with a lawsuit."<15>
