Joe the Dumber





I am so not getting this we are all “Joe the Plumber” campaign of McCain especially since Joe is no real Plumber and he is a tax delinquent.Let's not forget his girlfriend Jill the Plumper. And after the campaign is over and tripping Joe goes back to his previous life of anonymity I predict Joe will end up on the scrap heap of society sizzling in the winter sun of who cares then will become despondent and hurt somebody because after all he is a big jar headed non certified apprentice poser.
Woody Allen’s movie “Take the Money and Run” had a snippet of a bank robbery and a masked thug named “Willie the Logical Positivist.”
Logical Positivism is a philosophy based on agreed upon observable facts- Joe the Plumber is not a real Plumber therefore: Joe the Schmo.
There is an opposing philosophy which would take the position that if Joe is not a Plumber than what is he doing on the national political stage representing poser plumbers everywhere?
That prompted best selling books like “What is Reality” and as I watch this campaign head towards its sure to be dramatic conclusion on November 4 I keep asking myself that question which remains unanswered because agreed upon realities are just not attainable.
“All Ravens are black “But perhaps somewhere there is a hybrid Raven like Crow Raven Man because who knows if even all Ravens are Ravens unless you know the sexual history of all ravens as things are seldom what they seem to be.
I admire my buddies from the blue collar world because while I may be a logical positivist these guys actually know how to fix and make shit work. In education we would call that application of higher order thinking skills. I prefer to stop at the thinking part then go to my redneck Rolodex of problem solvers.

When you really get a real Republican to explain his reason d'etre he/she just doesn't want to pay taxes which makes him/her a hopeful freeloader because they still want public services. QED they are the people they disdain. "We have met the enemy, and he is us" (Pogo)
