Joe the Plumber to the rescue

Thank you Joe - not "three letter word: JOBS Biden" Joe the fake, back-taxing, McCain stooge placed in Toledo, OH neighborhood waiting for Obama to shake hands. Well, at least that is the description the mainstream media portrays. Talk about someone getting smeared. Someone told me yesterday at work, that Joe is not a "licenced" plumber plus he owes $1,000 in back taxes.......SO? Sounds like Joe had a legimate question. "I'm getting ready to buy a company that makes $250,000 to $280,000 dollars a year, your new tax plan is going to tax me more isn't it?" .........now, really...what is the problem with that question???? So, if you hear Obama's plan of "spread the wealth" in which he so elquently used to many other wonderful sounding words - tax credit, tax cuts to 95% of everyone, - which is a croc, 30-40% don't pay taxes and they get a "tax cut"??........ Socialism? Income Redistribution? Is this what this country needs? Joe asked a simple question and got some crazy answer, Obama sounds nice doesn't he? Give to others that don't have. Just a little advice....Don't make more money - you'll pay more taxes and it will be given to those to who don't pay any at all. Nice.. real nice. Just like giving 47 million people healthcare - including 12 million illegals? Just want I want to pay for.

TWO WORDS: Personal Responsibility - something we know nothing about anymore. Do not let the Government take care of you - it won't happen. Ever! Work hard, take care of your family, love others, give to the poor and needy. Don't wait for the Obama-Biden handout- taxes will rise and small business will suffer - can't hire people when you can't afford to pay them.

Fair-weathered UT Football Fan

Greetings on a mild day here in East Tennessee. Fall is upon us and can't wait to see the leaves change. I am going backpacking for the first time in the Smokies this weekend with some friends at work. Gonna be pretty cool - I will post some pics. Anyway - not getting off the subject title. I think I am a fair-weathered UT football fan. I did not attend the university -my wife did. I am an ETSU alum and we have no football to speak of. So........being in KnoxVegas... you almost have to like UT football. Something in the air changes when UT football starts up. I like UT football. I want them to beat everyone in the SEC. But, I am no PHAT PHIL FULMER PHAN. The coach has got to go. Almost everyone in the SEC is passing him by. Guess who's leading the SEC East????? Vanderbilt. Guess what - I think they will beat UT this year - I am calling it. Hey, I predicted Ole Miss beating Florida. But getting back to UT - Phil's secret weapon - Crompton - is a joke and so are the people who love a coach that gets paid over 2 MILLION dollars to be mediocre. Music City Bowl here we come. So, until UT gets new coach and try to extend it to someone who's not on the UT family tree. Go after Bob Stoops at Oklahoma. They need to look for the Bruce Pearl of football.
So, maybe one more prediction, since I am so good at it (HA HA). Phil resigns at the end of a 6-6 year. Crossing my fingers.

Bring on NCAA hoops. Go Duke, GO UT basketball.
