This just absolutely made my night. I know the diary will be short (look at my other ones, I promise I can write with substance) Joe the Plumber supports Barack Obama.
While watching the debates, I, like anyone else who is not a partisan Republican or on the IQ level of Forrest Gump, got rather tired of listening to "Joe the Plumber," (is this also Joe-Sixpack?), so I decided to Google "Joe the Plumber" to learn what poor plumber McCain was unfortunately aligning himself with. The first entry on Google (which I'm sure will be replace after tonight) was joeplumberseattle.com, an actual plumber. He has an email listed on his site, so I thought, what the hell, it might be funny to send him a line. I told him I currently lived in New York, but if I ever found myself in need of a plumber in Seattle, I wouldn't hesitate to call him. A few minutes later, I got this reply:
Yes! this is very cool. I've got a few emails and calls from customers and i'm not the joe the plumber they were talking about. Thanks for the email. Joe. GO-OBAMA
Guys, let's support anyone this cool, especially when he knows what's best for his business and the country. If you need plumbing in Seattle, call Joe the plumber, if for no other reason than it will remind you of the silly campaign that opposed the man who will be one of the greatest presidents of the era.
