Joe The Plumber now Joe the Reporter...With Special Protection From Jesus

This is so bizarre, and yet at the same time so unsurprising.....

If you have a loved one who died in Iraq or Afghanistan, he or she just didn't love Jesus enough, says Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher. The illiquid plumber couldn't cut it in crapper repair, so he's got a new gig pestering Israelis for Depends Media.

"I get to go over there and let their 'Average Joes' share their story, what they think, how they feel, especially with world opinion, maybe get a real story out there," [Wurzelbacher] said.

"If given the opportunity to do some good however minute it may be, or could be something really good, you gotta take that chance. You have to do it," he added, heroically.

Is he scared that one of the Hamas rockets might have his name on it? Not really. After all, as he explained, he's a Christian so God will keep him safe.

"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe," he said.

Atheist bus ads roll in London today: massive success

Buses in England are now sporting atheist sponsored messages such as this quote from Katherine Hepburn:

"I am an atheist and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for other people."

Apparently Franken is going to be declared the winner of the Minnesota senate race this week after an exhaustive recount. Here is a little taste of exactly what Al is capable of.....
