SNL: Obama and McCain discuss Joe the Plumber in the final Presidential debate

Not a big fan of the guy who does Obama, but he doe have his speech pattern down pretty well.


Darryl Hammond is spot on as always.

My Friends: It Gets Better

Well we have learned that Joe The Plumber is not all he is cracked out to be.

Now this part is really funny.

Obviously Joe The Plumber does not like to pay high taxes, but according to the Ohio Department of Taxation, he doesn't even pay his taxes.

He currently has an active lien against him for not paying around $2,000 in back taxes. Come on Joe, you make 250K, you can get that out of your couch. Oh, yeah, that was a lie.

Here is the court doc.

Incase it is removed, or overloaded with traffic as this circles the blogosphere, I will cut and paste some of it for you.

OK, hold on to your hat.

The man, the legend, Joe The Plumber, is full of shit.

He does not make $250,000

So the entire final debate of the most important election of our time, was wasted on some bald liar who snakes toilets. His name was mentioned more than Iraq, and more than the Economy.

Joe The Plumber is a registered Republican who believed Obama was a socialist before he walked up to him.

Here is my favorite part.

Joe the Plumber is not a licensed plumber.

So the guy isn't even paying taxes in the first fucking place.

The "McCain is a Poopie-Head" Series: Let the Children Rot in Foster Care

Senator McCain covers his eyes when children are being abused.

When George Stephanopoulos asked McCain if he would rather leave a child in foster care instead of allowing gay parents to adopt, all he could say was, "I am for the values and principles that two-parent families represent". In other words, he is so buried under his fundamentalist beliefs that he would rather leave children in abusive homes or in foster care than put them into a loving supportive home with two people who happen to be gay.

Keep in mind that American taxpayers pay an estimated $40,000 per child per year for foster care.

As someone who lived a nightmarish existence as a child, I would have welcomed gay parents. But noooooo... McCain would rather see children abused and neglected. Don't believe me? Watch this:

In 2006, an ABC News report produced the following statistics:

• On September 30, 2004, 518,000 children were in the U.S. foster care system. Most children are placed in foster care temporarily due to parental abuse or neglect.
  126,000 children are currently available for adoption.
• More than 20,000 children each year never leave the system -- they remain in foster care until they "age out."
• Thirty percent of the homeless in America and some 25 percent of those in prison were once in foster care.

With those statistics, riddle me this... If you were in the foster care system, would you prefer future prison or homelessness over a stable upbringing with gay parents who love you?
