Reasons to be Cheerful

Why I'm blowing off Joe the Plumber's book.  Yes, without reading it.

Best sentence:  
There was a time when I wanted to be like Sting, the singer, belting out, “Roxanne ...” I guess that’s why we have karaoke, for fantasy night. If only there was such a thing for failed plumbers, politicians or celebrities who think they can write.

(Also, in the tradition of Stan "The Man" Musial and Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, shouldn't it be Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher?  It is a self-chosen nickname.)

(Also:  What is the weird Republican thing for plumbers?)
