Treacher nails it:
The whole “He’s not a licensed plumber!” non sequitur is really fantastic. So, if you happen to be standing in front of Obama when he publicly reveals his socialism, what does the media do? Demands to see your papers. That’s just delicious, is what that is.
Read the whole thing.
This is something that I’ve rarely done, and I’ll put it up for a vote.
How many readers think that I should let Jim Harris continue to comment here? Because I’ve had my fill of his continuing attacks on me, and my integrity, on my own blog.
Ace has had enough, and thinks that it’s time to start.
In a comment over at Free Republic: “Joe The Plumber is the only undocumented worker in America that the Democrats dislike.”
Of course, you could say the same thing about John McCain, except he likes him. So at least he’s consistent.
If there are any beaten-down plunger companies, they’d probably be a good buy now, with all the campaign rallies coming up in the next two and a half weeks.
The Journal has a warning of what we’re in store for if The Democrats take over both branches.
The new littoral ship that Lockheed Martin is building for the Navy is four percent overweight:
The Navy and Lockheed already have a plan to remove nearly all the additional weight from the ship over a period of about six months once the new ship, which is named Freedom, gets to Norfolk, Virginia, in December, said the sources, who asked not to be identified.
As I said, margin, margin, margin. If you miss your weight target by that much on a launch system, it’s bye-bye payload. In this case, it simply puts the ship at risk in combat.
As the emailer who sent this to me asks, “I wonder if Lockheed will remove excess weight from Orion at no additional cost.”
ACORN defenders are tellling us that the fake registrations are no big deal, because they don’t result in actual fraudulent votes. Oh, no?
Today, news out of New Mexico, the state GOP looked at information for 92 newly-registered voters in one district, and found 28 had “missing or inaccurate Social Security numbers or birth dates. In some cases, more than one voter was registered using the same Social Security number. In others, people who the Republicans said had no Social Security number on public record were registered.” All of these are of individuals who have already cast ballots in the June New Mexico state legislative Democratic primary.
Now, unless A. Serwer thinks that there is actually a registered voter named “Duran Duran” in New Mexico, he ought to refrain from sputtering that those who disagree with him are ‘racist’ and ‘paranoid.’
The person who is “Duran Duran” almost certainly voted under their real name, and thus got two votes in the primary. God knows how many of those 27 others exist; for all we know, one person might have cast all of them. Anybody who voted once had their vote diluted by the guy who cheated to vote two to twenty-seven times.
As usual, the people who project, and accuse Republicans of stealing elections are about to do it on a massive scale.

Good line. I heard that Governor Palin just said in Ohio, “Don’t let them turn the Buckeye State into the ACORN State.”
Jonah Goldberg has thoughts on the financial crisis.
My big concern is that some slopes are very slippery, with nasty things at the bottom of the hill, and that politics can often be like a ratchet. If Obama wins, I fear that it will be very difficult to undo the damage of the most left-wing, “progressive” government since the nineteen thirties.
Sarah Palin says repeatedly on the stump that they’ll balance the budget by the end of the first term. Have they actually put forth a plan to do that? I suppose I should actually go over and look at the campaign web site…
I also have to confess that I find her voice and speaking style annoying. It’s nothing on which I’d base my vote, of course, but I can see how it might add to the fury of people who don’t like her politics.
