I don't usually like to do politics in my blog but this is just too much to pass up. Turns out Joe the Plumber... well how to put this. He may be a Plumber in the purest sense of the word, but he's not licensed to be a plumber

from the New York Times: Joe in the Spotlight

Turns out that “Joe the Plumber,” as he became nationally known when Senator John McCain made him a theme at Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate, may run a plumbing business but he is not a licensed plumber.
