Dear Jesse,
I’m sure your comments about Senator Obama come as a surprise to no one. It’s been obvious for awhile that you and some of your fellow Black “leaders”(I use that term very loosely) dislike him. You’re angry because you had a snowball’s chance in hell at the presidency, as no one could ever take [...]
Keisa loves lists. LOVES lists. I will take any opportunity given to compile a listing of things deemed important.
Daily Kos is credited with first uncovering the possible relationship of McCain’s Joe the plumber with Robert Wurzelbacher, the son-in-law of Charles Keating, sentenced to prison for his role in the Lincoln Savings and Loan collapse in the 1980s (remember the Keating 5? Not a singing group.) Robert Wurzelbacher is a contributor to Republican campaigns throughout the country.McCain or Obama and their respective tax plans if he wasn’t even registered to vote? These reports soon proved erroneous though as an another anomaly surfaced to replace them.vote alright, as a Republican, but guess what? Joe “the plumber” is no plumber. A check of Ohio plumbing licenses done by the Toledo Blade showed he had no plumber’s license. Joe-not-a-plumber-Wurzelbacher responded to the “you’re no plumber, Joe” discovery by claiming he works under his boss’ plumbing license. However, Ohio law requires Joe-not-a-plumber to have his own license.McCain charged with accusations that Obama’s tax plan stood between poor Joe the plumber and his ability to open his own business. Seems something bigger is looming in Joe-not-a-plumber’s path than some future tax plan that may or may not ever be enacted into law.
Soon reports followed alleging that Joe the plumber was not a registered voter in Ohio. Why should anyone care what Joe the plumber thinks about
Joseph Wurzelbacher’s full name is actually Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher is registered to
Cheater in his business, cheater in politics? Fair question under the circumstances. After Joe-not-a-plumber expressed concern over the effect Obama’s tax plan would have on his prospects of opening his own business,
ABC news staked out Joe-not-a-plumber’s house and learned that Joe had hoped to buy a plumbing business with an asking price of $250-280,000. His earnings? Far less than that. Yes, you got it, Joe the plumber, who we now know isn’t a legal plumber, would not face any tax increase whatsoever under Obama’s tax plan.
This guy probably stood there in Obama’s path with all intentions of doing this. Do I think the McCain camp is behind this? Nope. They know everything would eventually be aired and this guy would be exposed. Joe is probably a rabid McCain supporter who thought he was going to “expose” Obama and give Senator McCain a boost in the process. Instead he got to learn what happens to anyone who gets their 15 minutes of fame. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
I actually had two dreams last night. In the first dream I was looking at myself in the bathroom mirror at my parent’s house. My lips were burned and black from smoking. I was in a full on panic because I don’t smoke, never have.
Second dream. I was in Savannah, GA just exploring the downtown area. Somehow I got lost and found myself at the top of some rickety old ladder type stairs. There was a huge tarantula hanging above the stairs, and I stood there, afraid to move forward. A young guy kept pestering me to go ahead and climb down, and as soon as I walked under the spider, he fell down onto my shoulder. I woke up at this point. (Interesting note on this one, I found out this morning that tarantulas don’t spin webs, lol.)
