Joe the Opportunist!

Word hath reached our inquisitive ear that erstwhile McCain mouthpiece and GOP-approved “common man”, Joe the Maverick Unlicenced Plumber now has his own website!

And you too can sign up now as a member for free, or “upgrade” for the low-low price of $19.95 a year, which includes: (and I quote)

1) Total Access to “Joe The Forum” where you may chat directly with Joe

2) Subscription to the “Joe The Blog” monthly newsletter

3) Free Shipping on all “Joe The Plumber” merchandise
However, as a special, one-off, limited time offer, you can sign up now and receive a year’s membership AND get an “Autographed Copy of Joe’s Forthcoming Book and 1-Year Freedom Membership Subscription for just $14.95″

What a bargain! And good news for our favourite unlicenced plumber, since Joe still has that pesky $1,200 income tax bill to pay off.

However, the site’s links to “Joe the Blogger”, “Joe in the Media” and “Joe the Forum”, all say “coming soon”, and the other links don’t go really anywhere apart from a vendor site for Pearlgate publishing, which appears to be one dude’s self-published, God-related, time travel novel. Specifically, Thomas Tabback’s book, “Things Forgotten”.

According to the book blurb:

“After a traumatic experience, Bronx Police Officer Paul Kelly awakens in a hospital with no memory. His life and loved ones are all lost to him, but a specter from the past awakens him to an identity more than 3200 years ago. In a time when the heavens still touched the earth and man witnessed the might of God with plain eyes, there lived Nahar, son of Nahath, son of Reuel. Through Nahar’s eyes, Paul is about to recall events that would forever change the world, for he dwelt in the Jordan Valley of Canaan, as a chosen people prepared to cross the river into their Promised Land.

Prepare for an incredible journey as Nahar sweeps you into the historical events of the Israelite Conquest of Canaan, and discover the mystery of Nahar’s connection with Paul.”

Me, I think I’m going to stick with another plumber:
