7. OMG, I was just going to post. Have you seen his website?
For $14.95, or maybe it's $19.95(both prices are on there), you can get your very own "Membership" and his book(for a limited time). You can chat with Joe on his forum, subscribe to his monthly newsletter and WOW, get free shipping on "Joe" Merchandise.

"Joe" gives me a headache.

Snip:
Mr. Wurzelbacher said he planned to launch a Web site, www.secureourdream.com, with the goal of making it a political watchdog. "We will keep a check on both the Republicans and the Democrats for not only living up to their promises, but also not let them dictate to people how to live and spend their hard-earned fortunes," he said.

He added that he also planned to launch www.secureourdream.org, which he said will be a charity branch of the watchdog site to raise money "for all sorts of charities and causes for fellow Americans."

Praising his countrymen for being very generous to various charities, he said he hoped people would donate at this Web site. He said his Web site would be run in a very transparent way so everyone will know how much money is raised and distributed.

When asked about how much money he would take from the site, he said: "Yes, I would make money to some degree from this charity Web site, but not a whole lot because a majority of the portion collected through this Web site would go to help fellow Americans get a decent living."

8. Yeah right
A charity? Oh, and I like how he says "a majority of the portion collected through this Web site would go to help fellow Americans get a decent living." Wouldn't that be considered "spreading the wealth"???

10. Yeah, can you believe a charity?
Maybe a charity for "Joe's" pocket.
