Seeings how Halloween is quickly approaching (some might say it’s already here with the debate last night), I thought I’d pair off the two most interesting characters of the past year.
Ya alls know Joe the Plumber from last night’s debate. And from all the news coverage he’s received today. Who he is or what he is or what he really does for a living is not yet known. He might be related – closely or distantly – or not, to Charles Keating, we just do not know yet. One thing I do know is that if he were to buy a plumbing company today, he’d be the most famous plumber wannabe in the country. You just cannot buy the volume of advertising he’s gotten in the past 18 hours.
Nathan Jones is the Penn State student who inappropriately dressed up as a shot-up Virginia Tech student for last Halloween. And the best part?? Nathan has not only visited The Litterbox but he’s also commented!! What or who will Nathan the Jackass dress up this year? John McCain, Joe the Plumber, Rosie ODonnell? Only Nathan knows for sure.
So.
Who is the most infamous Halloween character this past year? Cast your vote in the comments section.
Or keep quiet.
It’s a free country until McCain gets elected. So make your choice count.

Just for your OWN edification, it is NOT true that this guy is somehow related to THE Charles Keating of the Keating 5….better check your facts before you post rubbish and gossip. You’ll look like one of the childhood “gossip game” participants.

BJD – perhaps you should put some effort into the art of reading comprehension. Let’s see what happens when I type in my comment on the family relationship to Keating s l o w l y.
“He might be related – closely or distantly – or not, to Charles Keating, we just do not know yet. ”
There. Get it that time?

Nathan Jones dressed up as Muhammed from the Danish Cartoon that caused 50 deaths not too long ago. What a freaking jerk! My friend showed me his facebook page and he is definitely dressed as Muhammed or a terrorist or something. I heard that the pictures are already starting to circulate on the internet. I hope he gets what’s coming to him. Apparently, he works for Robert Wood Johnson Hospital now. Hopefully, they’ll atleast fire him again, like Bank of America.
[Ed note: is he still a student at Penn State or has he graduated? Did he dress up already this year? By himself or was the Meroclo (sp?) woman with him again this time around? Where is this hospital?]

He graduated and dressed up with other friends already at a Halloween party this past weekend. No Jess Maraclo present. I think he works in Washington D.C.

Thanks for the update. It’s great to know that he’s no longer part of PSU. Glad to hear he’s in DC, land of the clowns. He should feel right at home there.
