FAT MIKE, musician
Fat Mike is not a happy man. "When I see a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on a car, it's time to slash their tires," he says, calling from the offices of his Fat Wreck Chords label. "When I run into a tourist with a Southern accent, I tell them to get the f -- out of San Francisco. We're at a culture war. I'm angry at them."
Leading up to the election, the member of Bay Area punk bands NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes did more to mobilize progressive and young voters than certain red-state evangelists did for their delegations. He released two "Rock Against Bush" compilation CDs, launched the Web site punkvoter.com, and took several bands on tour through swing states.
"We succeeded," he says. "We got the word out. But obviously we're not as organized as the churches."
Even though his candidate of choice, John Kerry, urged reconciliation and unification the day after the election, Mike is not interested. "F -- that," he wrote in a statement posted on the Punk Voter site. "There's no f -- way I am going to come together with these homophobic, flag-waving, God-fearing, gun- toting, uneducated, isolationist, ethnocentric rednecks. We live in a country that's in a shroud of ignorance. We do not compromise or come together with them. We fight them and everything they stand for.".

Why would we want these people in charge of the country? He wants to fight people he doesn't even know.
Hey Mikey... we own the guns.
That darned George W. Bush. he ended up taking all those votes away from John Kerry. If only Kerry was the only candidate, he'd be president today! Bush's candidacy is a conspiracy! A conspiracy to "take votes away" from Kerry. Bush is nothing but a spoiler.
The mindless scum in our society.
You can't have too many office supplies, that's for sure.
hehehehe that's good.
Wonder why the people who don't want to go to war are calling us isolationists? What a maroon.
Get an address. I have a few Bush/Cheney stickers i need to mail out.
Oh well,another band in the dumper. I used to like Me First & The Gimme Gimmes until I read this.
And we know how to use them.
NOFX sucks as do most punk rock. If this loser "Fat" Mike wants to slash my tires, he will be on the recieving end of my fist.

At least Green Day rocks.
Yet more love and tolerance from the Left...
Pot, meet kettle.
San Francisco ... Fallujah ... San Francisco ... Fallujah ... San Francisco ... Fallujah...
Awwwwwww. Have another cheeseburger Mikey, and shut up and sit down.

When I see a fat POS with a knife in his hand eyeing my tires, its time to insert said knife pommel first into his pooter.
