The plumbing IS the political! (UPDATED!)

If you watched the final Presidential debate last night any sort of political news at all in the past 24 hours then you know that "Joe the Plumber" is a political buzz phrase right now. You'd probably be surprised at how many political conversations Plumberboy actually has while he's on the job. Those plumbers sure can be a political bunch! I for one am just amused by all the similarities between Joe the Plumber and Plumberboy (except Plumberboy has hair.) Bizarre...

A couple of updates: First, Plumberboy definitely shares some similarities with Joe the Plumber. However, I need to clarify that Plumberboy most definitely pays his taxes, is not divorced, and is in fact a licensed plumber (a master plumber to boot... it's not often that I get to brag on him!) Now Plumberboy's name is NOT Joe but it appears that Joe the Plumber's first name ain't Joe either. Anyway, here's a super-interesting article about plumbers and I for one am glad to see them getting their dues (at least a little bit) considering they really do provide a vital service yet remain the butt of jokes. Har, har. Anyway, yay for plumbers!
