I remember Joe the Plumber. I thought he was near 49 even back then. He leaves the stage early due to pancreatic cancer.

Of all the cancers, pancreatic is the worst. It’s effectively a death sentence.

May God bless the righteous and damn the wicked. We cannot see the eternal truth from the view of wickedness. Thank you Mr Wurzelbacher for taking just a minute of your life to challenge the cancerous evil in our midst. I tip my glass to you tonight with a prayer that the lord sees you justified. I do know Barry will serve an eternity in anguish, pain tour ent and damnation.

God Bless Joe.

Ah, shoot.

I got to know him a bit, working with him on his website. I always found him to be a gentle, thoughtful man. Sad to see him leave us.

Yeah, I catch your drift. I just wish Joe would go off to
advanced home care and quit screwing things up.

Obama’s arm must be very sore by now.

How incredibly sad. I use to follow him on social media. Pancreatic cancer took my mom - it’s a dreadful cancer.
