Joe the Plumber, also known as Samuel Wurzelbacher, is quitting the GOP.
Eh, I still wouldn't let him anywhere near our cats.
You want to meet the real me now?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone ever done a "stop payment" on a check? Is it a big deal to do?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hee. I really, really need to keep myself from emailing tommyrot's link to my Libertarian nephew, who seems to assume that because his grandmother [on the other side of the family] left him enough money for a great start in life, everyone else will get their college, first car, first few years of health insurance, and first house automatically paid for from family funds. So those people on welfare and unemployment are just, you know, lazy and stuff.

Your nephew sounds like Rush Limbaugh, who gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation over the weekend and basically said that, since he's set with his multi-million dollar contract, everyone else impacted by the recession isn't trying hard enough. I'm guessing he's talking about those 20 percent of Clear Channel employees who were laid off to accommodate their shrinking profit margin--I'm sure that margin is down due in part to that multi-million dollar contract.

Michelle Obama's Sesame Street PSA: "You're Your Child's Best Role Model" (VIDEO)
The First Lady explains:
"If you want your child to have healthy habits, practice healthy habits, too. Because you're your child's best role model."
Sesame Street is certainly making good use of Michelle Obama's influence; as Elmo himself says:
"Well, if Mrs. Obama wants to exercise, Elmo wants to exercise too! Yay exercise!!"
I was tempted to tag Elmo, but decided not to risk causing heads to explode....

I've got the song "Star Trekkin'" in my head right now:

Laws of physics
Laws of physics

Laws of physics, Capt'n
