love the plunger and the link. I thought that joe must have problems. Nothing like artists to get to the bottom of it. Thanks!

just fabulous! And the joe the plumber thing is just classic!

I'm going to have to spend a day catching up with your blog! I've been so busy, I haven't had time to comment on any of my favorite blogs lately.

Hope all is going well for you!

I love that face. Maybe McCain's face should go on the underside of the rubber cup?

And, now that Colin Powell's wieghed-in, maybe you could paint him using the plunger with McCain's face on the bottom...
You're a hoot, Jaf!

I'm not sure he fibbed as much as not being clear. A lot of people who work in that industry work under someone who has the papers for it, so to speak. For example, I have a friend back home who has been a plumber for 8 years, but he can't work by himself. He has to work under his boss who has all the legal stuff in order. In my opinion, both candidates don't much about working people or they would have found that out before praising or attacking Joe the Worker.

Also, instead of being concerned about Joe the Plumber I think artists should be wary of how Obama has utilized Shepard the Artist. How many copyrights has Shepard violated? The world may never know.

I listened to the interview balhatain, and Jo lied when he said he planned to buy his bosses business. I never stated he asked an unfair question though. It was a rhetorical one yes, since Joe not only doesn't have the money to buy a business, nor has a plumbing licence that he would need to own such a business, and he in fact hasn't paid his taxes on his current income of 40,000.

Had McCain not USED him as some kind of symbol, I doubt we would be discussing him. Since McCain thought to use him as symbol of the hard working american, I think it perfectly valid to address what that entails.

My question to you Balhatain is has Obama publicly used Shepard the Artist as an example of the average american who would suffer under McCain's economic plan? IF so, then would you have a problem with people examining if Shepard is indeed an average american who works hard, pays his taxes, and struggles to pay their bills OR is someone who has misrepresented themselves and doesn't pay their taxes. I think it is fair game, don't you?

Balhatain, here is a link to the actual video in which Joe states "I am getting ready to buy a company" (there is no evidence to support this statement coming from someone who owes taxes and has a lien on his property by creditors)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ilwk_wmsQk

Didn't he also state he was an independent, but he registered as a republican.

Had he just asked the rhetorical question, which nobody has argued isn't a fair question, there would not have been an issue.
