All Those Joe’s!

I just finished watching the third presidential debate, a minute ago.

One thing this election season has brought up is all those Joe’s: Joe six-pack, Joe the plumber, Joe Biden…Wow! All those Joe’s out there, hats off to you! Your name is the front runner whichever direction I look.

Our front runners certainly do love the name Joe. Joe must be in our genes, although he might be wearing jeans and maybe coming up in all shapes, sizes, and mentalities.

The word Joe’s origin is Hebrew. It means: he will enlarge.

Since as a nation we are all getting fatter, in other words enlarging, we must be Joe’s, all of us.

As to Joe the plumber, I wonder why Senator Mc Cain did not choose him as his running partner. He talked to him directly several times. If a direct address was in the works, shouldn’t the American public be addressed first? He talked more about that Joe than his VP, also. Could it be that he thinks his choice for a running mate needs a revision? If so, I couldn’t agree more.

Cheers with a cup of Joe (but not the latte kind) for all the Joe’s in the world!
