I need some help...
Could someone, anyone, please remind me exactly why I should give a flying fart about what plumbers named Joe think about this election?
Given the barrage of stories, blog posts, and newspaper column space devoted to telling me about what various plumbers named Joe think about tax and economic policies, I take it I’m supposed to give their opinion some sort of weight, but for the life of me, I don’t remember why.
Plumbing is certainly a noble profession, without which modern society would not exist in the same comfortable manner it does now, and trekking out to the outhouse every day would suck, so for that I’m grateful to plumbers everywhere, even the ones not named Joe.
But for the life of me, I can’t remember exactly why I should care about their opinions on politics. Their opinions on winterizing my pipes, yeah. But on who I’m voting for? Not so much.
So please, won’t someone jog my memory?
