Wurzelbacher, who had questioned Obama on his tax policy, quickly ran into revelations that he'd probably get a tax cut under Obama, that he owed back taxes and that his first name was actually Samuel. But you can see why he made such an attractive campaign mascot. Joe the Software Consultant or Joe the Staples Manager would not tick off nearly as many populist boxes as Joe the Plumber: beefy, hails from the heartland, works with his hands.

...Game in the storied history of its rivalry with the aforementioned sucky Bulldogs. I was inspired by the halftime exploits of a now-famous former Sports Editor, Timothy J. McGinn ’07. He rushed onto the field and stole Handsome Dan, the ugly bulldog of a mascot for Eli’s bunch of nitwits and smelly people. He ran and ran and took that Dan all the way up to the top of the Stand(s). It was Picasso at his finest hour, Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, and Marky Mark in “The Departed...
