Smart Things God Says

For some mysterious reason, Joe The Plumber is still giving interviews. For some far far far more mysterious reason, there are actually people out there who think that it would be a good idea for Mr. ThePlumber to run for office someday soon. JtP was asked about that recently by WorldNetDaily.

Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he replied, “I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, ‘No.’” [via ThinkProgress]

I think everyone should stop and take a moment to thank the deity of their choice for providing Joe with such a clear answer to this question. If you're an atheist, just thank the voices in Joe's head. Also, I really love the way he phrased his answer. Not 'well, I prayed about it and I don't think it's the path that I'm supposed to be on' or even 'I don't think that's in God's plan for me right now'. No, he just had a little chat with God, and he was like 'yo God, do you think I should like, run for Congress or something?' and God was like 'no dude, don't do that right now'. Joe is so wise.
