Joe the Ancestor

If you're a history buff, like me, and are looking for a different angle on politics, Errol Morris has a neat post tracking the history of "everyman" political ads. He should know - he's done a few. Not surprisingly, they've been a staple since TV ads started up in the 1950s. Maybe "Joe" the "Plumber" can check it out while he's out not being exploited by the GOP.
