McCain in Indianapolis: Look out for that Plane!

Holly Bailey

John McCain just arrived in Indianapolis, otherwise known as stop No. 4 on his seven state, 22-hour campaign extravaganza leading into Election Day. So far, there hasn’t been much big news today. McCain is delivering pretty much the same stump speech he’s been giving for the past week or so, hitting Obama as the “redistributor in chief” and talking up his own cred as someone who would enter the job with decades of experience, especially on foreign policy. What’s interesting are the little things. For one, McCain, like many candidates in the final heat of a campaign, is losing his voice a little bit. That’s bad news for the folks for the several hundred people who met him at an airport rally here. Not only are the acoustics pretty bad, but the McCain gathering seems to be positioned directly under the flight path for incoming planes here. So far, four massive jetliners have flown directly over McCain’s head as he has been speaking, making it almost impossible for folks on the ground to hear. That may not be the best news for McCain, who is struggling to keep Indiana from going blue. Polls here show McCain virtually tied with Obama heading into Tuesday. Even so, McCain hasn't spent much time here. Today's visit was only the third time McCain has been in the state since the spring.

This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.

Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.
