Here’s A Fucking Pipe You Can Fix

@ Joe the Plumber,

Thanks for pipe-snaking out America’s jerk-socks. You’re a national hero.

My septic is backed up.

Bwahahahahaha Lyndon. Them damn Septics…

But seriously folks, if you earn$250,000 you do need to pay fucking tax. Stop being a greedy fucking pig and realise you live in a society where we don’t abandon/eat the weak.

Jesus CB, I thought you had to be at work early this morning. You’re never gonna get to sleep now.

homofascist: And I am. Up bright and early at 6; condo relatively cleanish, at work right on time. (Had to take the car over to the shop for some TLC — hence the earliness.)

Uh-oh. Work calls.

Apparently JTP is an unregistered flat taxer who compared Obama’s debate performance to a Sammy Davis tap dance. I read it on Crappy Hour and here: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Joe_speaks.html

JNOV: Well it’s good to see that Joe is a culturally aware man. Too few people nowadays know about the Rat Pack and the influence they WAIT A MINUTE….

But unlike Sammy Davis Jr., Obama is not Jewish.

@chicago bureau: and Dodgerblue: HAHAHAHA!

I was going to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but I figured that was just bad form. I’m humming it instead.

Dodger — do you root for the NL in these situations, or do you want the Phills knocked flat on their keisters?

By the way does anyone have any clue as to how much plumbers make? They’re up there with brain surgeons. At least, that’s how it is in my neck of the woods, you betcha.

@Lyndon LaDouche: They make more than me, that’s for damn sure.

@SanFranLefty: Well, really. They make more than all of us. That’s if you can even get them to come to the house.

@Lyndon LaDouche: Charlie the plumber Vigil (“vee-heel”) here in Santa Fe makes at least $60/hr for labor. He is also a hell of a guitar player specializing in rancheras, nortenos, corridos and 50s rock. In some towns around here you can’t get a plumber in the summer cos they make so much they’re off half the week. (“I’m sorry, but he’s up at the lake.” )

I have a younger brother who is a journeyman plumber on construction and industrial jobs. Dude is is single and gone fishing every weekend. He’s actually the best hunter and fisherman in the family.

When he told me he was dropping out of college to go to vocational school, I said “Cool. Guys like me will be calling guys like you. Plumbers do pretty good. They always got nice four wheel drives, deer rifles and time off.”

The three rules of plumbing: Shit runs downhill, payday’s on Friday and don’t pick your nose. Fun fact: Dude was a big Nebraska football fan and had a cat named “Husker Du”.
