He’s so thankful for our clean, articulate President, is Mr Biden — and so thrilled that not just anybody can do the job politicians do, presuming to make decisions about how the masses should be compelled to live.
Like, for instance, plumbers.
I mean, can you imagine? Suddenly we’d all be wearing ill-fitting, shit-smeared Wranglers, the cracks of our asses reflected in a mottled twinkle under the unforgiving fluorescent lighting of a cramped middle-class kitchen somewhere in some horrific exurb outside Lincoln, Nebraska.
Ggah. Thank god for the ruling class. Otherwise, where would this country be?

Excellent response from the other Joe. I think we should sponsor a Joe vs Joe
cage matchdebate on the character and the direction of America.This is my favorite from Plugs and would make for a nice, albeit impolite ad.
*effective, albeit impolite ad I should say.
Guess Joe the plumber won’t be elected to office any time soon.
Has anyone in “official” Washington ever publicly called this guy a moron to his face? It just seems like everyone kind of snickers about him, but it’s almost as if he’s too much of a buffoon for serious mockery. Like a special needs child or something.
I’ve actually wondered about dementia before, Abe.
Strange place we find ourselves. Our leaders are so stupid that it might not be polite to mention it.
As they say, all you really need to know to be a plumber is that shit doesn’t roll uphill and payday’s on Friday… Seems like a skill set well suited to the Senate or White House, if you ask me.
bh, I read a year or more ago that there was speculation about the O having Parkinson’s disease.
Plumbers are a lot more useful, and likely know a lot more practical things, then anyone in the Senate or White House.
Those guys don’t know shit.
Just don’t let them near anything made of wood, cranky-d. They’re not known as “giant termites” for nothing. It’s a miracle that three floors of bathrooms in our old house didn’t collapse into one black hole with a stack of claw foot tubs sticking out.
But yeah, real-world knowledge would be useful in either the Senate or WH, which was actually my point although badly stated.
Biden’s head got opened up a few years back for one reason or another. When they finished closing it up there were parts left over.
And the world was going to end if Ms. Palin came anywhere near One Observatory Circle.
Not the world, but almost certainly their world.
Guess what, turns out they only delayed that one.
I think the echo-chamber thing is the problem. Joe Biden has not had people say “huh? What the hell are you babbling about” often enough. He give speeches the way that “automatic writers” transpose vibrations from the ether. You say what ever is on your mind in a sloppy dramatic way and pretend that it has some great significance and people kiss your ass for it even if you just make odd sounds. In the echo chamber it’s great historic inspiring stuff that causes people to stand up and clap. Outside the echo chamber it’s just silly crap that most 4th graders can see the major problems with. It’s an embarrassing gaff that subordinates have to spin and explain away.
As far as what you need to know to be a plumber, you need to add “Don’t put your fingers in your mouth.”
I’d imaging that you need to know how to measure, cut, and join pipes. Calculate system and local pressure of water or gas at peak and low points. Avoid city pipes and bundles when digging. Find and repair leaks. Find and remove blockages. That sort of thing.
If you think being a plumber is simple, do it yourself. I mean, you swat your own flies, don’t you?
‘Shit runs downhill’ is an important concept, but it ain’t the “only” thing besides payday. Did you know, for example, shit, piss, and snot don’t always flow downhill?
If you think being a plumber is simple, do it yourself.
because the pluses and minuses of the pex vs copper debate are well known
I don’t like the whole idea of pex. That shit is going to fail sooner than copper, dag nabbit.

Yea, but no one is going to break into my house in Detroit and steal all the pex we’re installing right now.
Because someone stole the copper.
Sorry I missed the Detroit talk yesterday. Honestly, I’m cool with eliminating lighting in parts of the city.
Car in, just hearing about your house makes me feel helpless, and it’s not even my responsibility. In your case, I would not install copper anything if I could avoid it.
They’ll go for the wires next, like the rats they are.
