In last night's 3rd and final presidential debate of 2008, Barack Obama and John McCain traded shots about the prospects of Joe The Plumber (a registered Republican). Joe The Plumber is said to be from Holland, Ohio, and he wants to buy a plumbing business.

Nevertheless, readers of this blog know that Joe The Plumber is this guy (lower right-hand corner).

Joe The Plumber (an independent) doesn't worry too much about high taxes. After long periods of unemployment, he's just grateful to be working again. Instead, Joe worries about what British financiers are doing to this country, what aliens are doing to our species, and what the Warren Commission has done to our brains.
