A 'Frustrated' Joe The Plumber Gets Behind Microman

Henderson resident and Robert Stern has a new, special friend to help him present his life's work to the world: Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher. Stern's special project is known as Microman, and he and Joe plan to introduce Stern's Microman to the world of the tea parties starting this summer in Vegas.

Microman is not the copyrighted action figure you might remember from your misspent youth: he is, instead, a poorly-drawn, Obama-teabagging conservative Everyman with a penchant for really terrible jokes with which your older, conservative relatives will eventually clog your Inbox.

*snip*

This toast to the Tea Party movement and American freedom stars Microman, the new hero of the conservative right. Microman loves liberty and loves his life. He just doesn't like the notion of paying taxes on his hard-earned money and watching his country turn socialist.

Presented in a series of original comic strips, Microman's humorous musings on education, fiscal policy, foreign affairs, healthcare, and more will make readers laugh and feel good about fighting for the principles our Founding Fathers set forth.

5. I meant to mention..

updating spam filters in my op.

What? You didn't think the joke was funny? :-)

2. Co-starring Shirley the Waitress and her wagging finger of the free market!

Naturally, Microman doesn't tip as that would only enable Shirley to work just one dead-end soul-shredding job, when she really should be working two or three jobs to make ends meet.

[YOY]

3. What does "bailout" have to do with a diner???

I don't get it.

Oh wait. They wanted to tie in "creamed" with the bailout so they put in a non-apropos setting...

Well...OK...I guess.

4. Shouldn't that be micropenisman?

6. Damn, you beat me to the obvious joke. n/t

7. Holy fuck, is that infantile artwork.

They are actually publishing that with their names on it? That takes big brass ones.

8. No it doesn't

To put your name on something that stupid knowingly is not the same as putting your name on it when you are totally clueless.
