Yes, Barry. A plumber.

Obama’s gargantuan snobbery on full display.

Update:

The plumber seems to be doing a better job than McCain.

Another Update:

Jim Treacher:

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.

One Last Update:
Context does matter.

CLARIFICATION: Over at Hot Air, they observe that this video is cut to take Obama’s words out of context. The full quote is “He’s trying to suggest that a plumber is the guy he’s fighting for.” Allahpundit notes, “They’re laughing at McCain for claiming to be a friend of the middle class, not at Wurzelbacher for being middle class” — which in context seems like a reasonable interpretation. So whatever issues you have with the Obama campaign and how they’re handling Joe the Plumber, this video is a bit unfair to Obama.
None of which takes away from Treacher’s point about demands to see papers.

Bad News for Kids in Texas

The liars at the “Discovery Institute” which, I remind you, has yet to discover a single thing, have planted some of their shills on the Texas State Board of Education. Why should you care? They chose Texas for a reason: Texas and California are the two biggest purchasers of text books. If you can get them to buy something, lots of other states have little choice but to follow along because their textbooks are just minor tweaks of the California and/or Texas editions.

So this really could be bad news for kids all over the country, not just Texas.

Read the fine print

Because there are always exceptions.

I Do – Family

The latest Yes On 8 spot. I don’t think it’s as good as some of the others, but it will probably be effective for many voters.
