So Boilerman is telling us that "Joe the Plumber" is actually "Joe the Venture Capitalist," soon to be "Joe the Wall Street Investment Banker." I guess if we believe "Joe," we might as well believe Boilerman.


My thinking is that Joe was never going to buy a plumbing company and was never really serious about it. He didn't have what it took. He blamed his failure as a venture capitalist on Obama. I see this often at my local dive bar. People are in there every time I am and since I'm only there sparingly, I assume they are there very often. They drink a lot and waste their time there. I overhear them complaining about their position in life and how it's all the goddamn foreigners that come and take the jobs they want or it's the liberals or some scapegoat or another. Since I don't want to get beat up, I don't bring up the obvious and suggest that the time and money they spend at the dive bar could be used for night classes to improve their employment prospects. It's just human nature to accept one's position in life and complain about it rather than do anything to change it.

Here in NJ, there a many plumbers working that don't have licenses. The owner of the company has the license and responsibility and lots of "helpers" that do the actual work without supervision.

I agree with Snidely's position for the most part. I also have a friend who is an unlicensed plumber here in Indiana.

Oh, wait, now I'm caught in a lie, because someone knows someone who knows someone who doesn't have a plumbers license.

Below you will read "Here is my quote and I stand by it's accuracy". Unfortunaterly Jilly then quotes another author.

Yes, it is. Although, I can see a black person wanting a black president in order to show that there is equality in our country and to inspire black folks to overcome the (hopefully) last remaining prejudiced people's hate.

"Preference?" So that's what they're calling it these days.

For the most important position in the world we should be voting for the most qualified person; not whose turn it is, or to prove a point.

Yup, that's true. And if there was no prejudice in people, people wouldn't pay any attention to the color of a candidate's skin. Sadly, that's not true.

Seems like the Repubs could find someone qualified, if that's the case.

From listverse:

"Mormons believe that God created multiple worlds and each world has people living on it. They also believe that multiple Gods exist but each has their own universe. We are only subject to our God and if we obtain the highest level of heaven we can become gods ourselves."

From KJV:

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,
