Last weekend Joe the Plumber became a new real life representative of hard working American tax-payers everywhere. a sort of trans-Atlantic Joe Bloggs in the flesh.
Except it turns out he's not a proper plumber, doesn't pay his taxes and his name's not even Joe.
I could make this a criticism of politicians distorting facts to make a point, or the media jumping on a story without checking facts.
But no. All I'm interested in is the guy's real name.
Samuel J Wurzelbacher.
He has to be a relation of some sort. Time to extend the family tree research net a bit wider methinks.
