That's Jim
Della Croce, who owns the local publicity team that Joe the Plumber has hired.
Despite rumors to the contrary, he's not planning to release an album, though a book is in the works.
...
"Certainly Joe will go down in history and will be a celebrity regardless of which way the election turns," Della Croce said. "He is a curiosity. He's touched a nerve with the common man, and people are curious as to what's on his mind. I think he speaks for a lot of people."
...
At first, Wurzelbacher insisted he wanted no part of the spotlight and predicted he'd be a small footnote in the campaign.
"I'm a flash in the pan, a novelty. It's going to be a fun couple of days," he said.
It has lasted much longer.
Della Croce has managed rock stars, but Joe the Plumber is a special case.
"Never in 25 years have I seen this level of interest in a celebrity," Della Croce said.

Okay, I forget--was Miss Othmar Charlie Brown's teacher, or just Linus's? Were they in the same class, or was Charlie the same age as Lucy and Linus was younger?
These things are important, you know!

I believe Miss Othmar was Linus' teacher - there was a story arc in the "Classic Peanuts" strips in our local paper a couple weeks ago that dealt with this. I believe that Charlie Brown and Lucy are the same age and Linus is younger, with Sally being younger still. Then there's Rerun, Lucy's and Linus' younger sibling.

So I still don't know the name of Charlie Brown's teacher so I can find an avatar that is properly faceless for someone's MM....
