hamonrye (June 9, 2009)

Krist was the triggerman so I doubt it.

What is a county clear?

canaandrumzz (June 9, 2009)

They meant county clerk. It's a typo.

You're too old for this website.

CleanSheets (June 9, 2009)

No I think your to young for this website. Especially from the look of the bands you like you are in the wrong place. Go over to altpress.com they are more up your alley TROLL

royalt (June 10, 2009)

Wow. Touchy. That must be the menopause talking.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 9, 2009)

Never gets old.

2Kings (June 10, 2009)

CleanSheets (June 9, 2009)

I bet he gets it too

hamonrye (June 9, 2009)

Krist, I'm tired. I need to get laid.

hotwaterbrogden (June 10, 2009)

one of the funniest things ever said.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 9, 2009)

I wonder if he'll ever make it to Head of State.

Banal242 (June 9, 2009)

I don't get it.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 9, 2009)

He'll never get aHEAD, that way. Eh?
-Dante

dlangl4 (June 9, 2009)

Running for office is very stressful. He'll really need to keep his head together if he wins.

mill83 (June 10, 2009)

REEEACH!

He's a step ahead of anyone else.

Cheesetits (June 9, 2009)

I've lived in WA state for the majority of my life and I have never heard of that county. But, you know, good for him.

Now you can type it in for me and search for it.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 9, 2009)

Really? Did it not work?

Cheesetits (June 9, 2009)

Ha, that is the way the fuck down there, population of 3,500 in one county, that's just ridiculous, a baby could run it.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 9, 2009)

I guess that's why he's doing it.

royalt (June 10, 2009)

I could tell that wouldn't work by looking at the link.

I'll be the first to admit it's a flimsy measurment but I'm not about to take advice from a former speech writer for George W. Bush, who's also a former Newscorp executive.
-Dante

dlangl4 (June 9, 2009)

Yeah I understand that point completely. What he says is reasonable though. I thought I'd at least throw it out there. It wouldn't surprise if that, besides the author's bias, he's right at least to some degree.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 9, 2009)

Yeah, but he's full of shit if he thinks Obama is getting treated better than Bush. Bush had two solid years of complete immunity during his first term, thanks to 9/11. I figure if Obama gets a pass in hist first year, it's okay.

joeg (June 9, 2009)

nirvana is overrated. some other band would've killed hair metal, probably green day. they're not punk. the foo fighters are better. end of thread.

CleanSheets (June 9, 2009)

I immediately thought of that when I saw "stoooopid."

CleanSheets (June 10, 2009)

Lmao

Cheesetits (June 9, 2009)

Sure, whatever man.

BrandonSideleau (June 10, 2009)

Green Day couldn't kill an ant with Raid..........Nirvana were one of those rare bands that maintained their edge despite unprecedented popularity.

FranklinStein (June 9, 2009)

my fleshlight came in the mail today!!!

PunksUndead (June 9, 2009)

Krist Novoselic seems to have adjusted nicely from a famous rock n roll musician to become a leader in his community, and a voice of hope and new ideas. He's always appealed to me, maybe it was his sense of humor, but it's great to find out his political interest wasn't just a hipster/punk rock thing, it's pretty clear by his past, and direction now he takes politics seriously and is actually doing something productive, instead of sitting on his hands like an apathetic individual making some noise about how they are content being discontent.
